Issue 108 P - Colour palette question

Post by Ant »

This one is probably aimed at Craig.

I recall with 107 there were some issues with the colour palette of screen captures for the reviews. To try to reduce your workload -- what's the preferred palette? And, tied to that first question, is there a preferred emulator when taking a grab? VICE or CCS64?

I don't give a monkey's what emulator people use, so long as:

1. They take the photo at 1:1 ratio;
2. They take it in an emulator that doesn't include "blurring" when grabs are taken of moving graphics;
3. They use the Philip Timmermann palette;
4. They save the result as a GIF and not a JPEG.

Cue lots of bizarrely coloured, blurred images, sent to me as JPEGs...
