Hello,

After problems with the registration (it wont accept gmail) I've finally created an account.

Had a D32 back in the day and spent far too many hours playing games.

It's great to see there's still a community for it and I'm really interested in seeing how far the Dragon can be pushed by the clever people on this board. Personally, I always felt the graphics / colours really let the machine down so I'm particularly interested to see what's possible these days with better knowledge of the machine and modern coding techniques.

Looking forward to seeing some of the new games mentioned in other threads making an appearance.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers

Hello and welcome!

I agree that the Dragon doesn't have the best looking video modes and palettes, but, you can always push it and get something nice out of it (check this and this, for example).

Regards,
Rob

Hi,

Yes I'd seen those demos. I guess both of these were using PMODE24 as the don't loop the highest resolution (which I presume was PMODE4?).

It is known as Semigraphics 24 mode.
