How much did your Altera DE-1 cost?

@bbond007 The Altera DE1 is limited to 4096 colors like an A500. So AGA would be sort of useless on it.

It allows the wiring of 12-bit VGA signal + HSYNC + VSYNC.

12-bit = 4096 colors

AGA requires 16777216 colors

Perhaps the 24bit palette register could pick the closest of the available 4096 colors.

Yes that can be done, but it looks terrible as all the colors are wrong.
