- Hmmm. Another idea:
-
- I was just wondering...
-
- Is it possible to create a "dynamic-hires" or "palette-change" type display
- with an ECS "productivity" screen? At the moment the best that mode can give is
- 4 out of 64 colors. I wonder how many you could get on-screen if you
- implemented such techniques? Would it be a max of 64 becuase of the
- palleterestriction, or would there be some way to access multiple 64 color
- palletes per scanline.. or per sections of the screen. If there are still some
- programmers tinkering with ECS.. It would be nice to see how far you could push
- the old ECS modes :)
-
- I have no idea how to program any of this.. but just thought I'd pass along
- another one of my crazy ideas :)
