OCS/ECS mix-up
« on: November 30, 2003, 09:19:18 PM »
I thought the A1000, A500, CDTV and the A2000 has the OCS chipset, the A3000, A600, A500+ has the ECS chipset
Somehow sites and threads say the OCS and the ECS are the same

But a game written for ECS is not compatible with an OCS system, for instance The Lost Vikings

Then why do most Amiga 500 games only support 32 colors (for as far as I know) and not 64 colors?
