I had a look... looks fairly neat eh! My palette was DPaint and the plus/4 colours on a TV and just by eye... so theres a few out as well.. Even taking a snapshot of a plus/4 screen has brightness problems. If we could figure out how it MAKES the colours... it'd be far nicer...oh well...

Well yes and no... ALL versions will have a different "winmain" kinda file. since each handles the system differently. It'll just mean a lot of the screen handling is in there instead of video.cpp where it really should be... :-(

I like Linux... but I've always struggled to find a use for it...
Getting better now... you could "almost" use it for everything...
but not quite yet.. another couple of years, and we can throw windows away :->
