- Having read about the new AGA chipset and it's new graphics
- modes, I have decided to modify a fractal program of my own
- to use the 256 colour register mode.
-
- I have one problem with the conversion. I can open an 8-bitplane
- screen at the appropriate resolutions, and render to it. This
- works fine. However, I can't load the new AGA 24-bit palette
- registers.
-
- I use the graphics library call LoadRGB4(), but this only uses
- 12-bit colours, so I am losing a lot of colour definition. What
- I want to know is what is the library offset / registers definition
- for a corresponding 24-bit regs function (which I assume will
- be called LoadRGB8())?
-
- I am not a registered developer, and so have no access to
- Commodore Autodocs / Includes for V3.xx. Could some kind soul
- either EMail me with the details or post them. (poss. a Commodore
- person?)
-
- I am in a bit of a hurry, as I would like to take a working
- version of the program to the Future Entertainment Show in
- London this Saturday and bug the guys on the Commodore stand
- till they let me try it out!
