|  Re: is there a multicolor text mode?
The above does work, but in multicolor text mode not all characters will be multicolor. The highest bit of the color nibble will determine the mode: 0 = hires, 1 = multi.
If you want to do this in BASIC:
0 T=DEC("FF00")
1 POKET+7,PEEK(T+7)OR16
2 SCNCLR:COLOR1,9,4:PRINT"TEST"
If you want to just check it from Monitor:
>053B 49
>FF07 18
Note that you should NOT directly write this value to $FF07, as this clears the NTSC bit. The correct way to turn on multicolor text mode from machine language would be something like (depending on what you're trying to do):
LDA $FF07
ORA #$10
STA $FF07 |
