>256 colors with Indivision for A1200?
« on: January 30, 2010, 05:18:31 AM »
I have the Indivision for my A1200 and I don't see any options for more than 256 colors... I only want more than 256 colors for paint and image applications, not Workbench.... I have a accelerated A1200, with Apollo 1240 and 32 meg RAM.

How do I get screen modes with more than 256 colors?

"24 Bit colour resolution in all screenmodes" doesn't mean that it supports 24bit modes. It means it supports 8bits per gun (R, G and B).

Misleading? Perhaps.

The only way to get more than 256 colours with this setup is to use HAM6 or HAM8 screenmodes.


I guess I misinterperted that. I can get resonable color depth on my A2000 with Flicker Fixer, Picasso II, And Picasso96.

I take it Picasso96 doesn't work with the Indivision?

I was playing with ImageStudio last night. I didn't see any HAM options in the screen modes.

The attached pic is a screen dump from ImageStudio on my A2000.

So would I need something like a Mediator and PCI graphics card to get 24 bit color on the A1200?

What advantages do AGA offer?

so where can I get the Indivision 1200 from?  Amigakit's site takes you to indivision 4000/ECS only.


I think they're out of the A1200 version at them moment, and they plan to get more.
