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...

What are you coding on it? graphics or game stuff?

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 :->
