Multicolor text mode 4x8
Hi!
I was read on the wikipedia, some information about text mode Commodore C64 - 4x8 multicolor:
| Text mode: 40×25 characters; 256 user-defined chars (8×8 pixels, or 4×8 in multicolor mode); 4-bit color RAM defines foreground color.
But as an example, show only the standard text screenshot.
Somebody can explain to me what is it this in text mode, as it turns on and preferably with an example.
I would be glad if you bring in a sample screenshot.
Many thanks in advance. |

by the way: if you turn ON that mode you can see the characters in both high res and multicolor. If you use colors 0-7 you have high res chars. If you use 8-15 you have multicolor char.
I used this technique to have both high res and multicolor on the same screen. Look at the screenshot:
Aurora 85%-90%
it's all chars (except for the Aurora sprites over the chars). the side picture is multicolor, the center plot is high res.
Hope this clearifies a bit. |
