B&W display mode feature

Post by nitrofurano »

is there any QL emulator that we can have B&W display mode as option, just like ZX-Spectrum emulators like FBZX and Fuse does?

I use the the B&W high resolution display mode of the Q68, but the Q68 is not an emulator and is not free.

B&W or Greyscale?

I could knock up Greyscale pretty quickly in sQLux :-D

yes, greyscale, thanks! (i meant b&w as b&w tv, that were actually greyscale! ;D )
(i don't know if the correct formula for that is w=(b*.11)+(r*.30)+(g*.59) - i normally use this in my pictureprocessing/converting scripts )

Not always obvious when talking about a speccy though, because if you dont render the attributes you still get a nice obviouse b/w picture due to pixels and colours be separate in memory! :-D
