Is that dependent on what palette you choose for both? In Altirra, default NTSC and PAL palettes. I prefer the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+gnusto Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 This one didn't end up great in color accuracy but is still a great contrast pic regardless. I'm going to try again with a detail mask for the mouth to see if I can get some of the reds; but red variation that fine is probably past the ability of the 8-bit palette. ahhhh.xex 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here is my latest, with only the output image to judge by. Wild. 60 colors. Wild.xex 22.13 kB · 17 downloads interesting to hear as my XP machine suddenly didn't communicate with my SIO2PC yesterday either... perhaps another windows update has futzed serial I/O I re installed APE and it works again with pre emptive and polling timers turned on and the USB version but I haven't gotten the standard RS 232 back up and working with either APE nor Respeqt... odd.

Yes, that's quite a coincidence, But the PC I use as a slave file server/utility machine for my 8-bit has not been updated for about 4 years. Mine is an issue with the Atari I'm sure. I can communicate with MyIDE II in the cart port and PBI communication must be working since I have a Syscheck connected for external memory & OS's. But it goes straight to self test no matter what I try to access through the SIO. Anywho, I guess this isn't the thread. I just don't have the time to investigate right now. In the mean time, to keep this thread on topic, here are a couple versions of a Star Trek image I'm not quite happy with so I didn't post them before...but I need something to post... To Boldly Go. 56 & 57 colors, both PAL, but different color palettes. ToBoldlyGo.xex ToBoldlyGo2.xex 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's an iconic Lake District view. The conical mountain in the left middle distance is Yewbarrow; Great Gable is in the distance with the summit in cloud. The foothills of the Scafell range are in view in the distance off to the right of the picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
