Serguei2 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Since Atari 2600 can shows 128 colors on screen, I wonder which games can display all colors. I suspect it would need lot of codes to display all color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Turmoil level change screen. Of course its not 128 colors independently displayed, but they are there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 There are a few homebrew utilities floating around that display every color at once. Not sure if any game does - I don't know how that would be used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be massively helpful for me to see the colors natively in Stella instead of Web approximations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The binary I have is just called colors3. I have no idea where I found it, or who may have written it. Thomas made a similar (still unreleased) one that's similar, but I don't know if this is also his or not. If you move the dot around with the joystick and press fire, you can select any color to view fullscreen. colors3.bin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Quite a few games would do the color cycling to display the colors. Raiders of the Lost Ark does this on the winning screen I believe. But only uses the gold colors at the beginning if I remember? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vidak Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I think the easiest way games would display all colours is just storing a decremented or incremented value in COLUPF or COLUBK. That way you can get 128 colours up and down the screen like in Kirk Israel's beginning Beginners 101 tutorials. Pretty much the same thing as what SpiceWare pointed out.
