- Those are mostly Amiga modes, with the last one looking vaguely
- like a C64 resolution.
-
- I think it's about time I coded up a small PC .GIF/.LBM viewer for
- these pictures... This question has popped up too many times. I've
- figured out some of the odd ones, like 320x256, and with Liket's
- help I'm sure I can figure out the others.
-
- So, 320x200, 320x400, 320x256, 320x512... Any others? I want this
- to work on a standard VGA card, so no 640x(>400) modes (only 256K of
- video memory), but I'd be happy to support any of the other modes
- out there, and I can get 640x200 and 640x256 working, I'm sure.
- Are there any other modes/resolutions that I'm forgetting?
