15 Different Colours in ZX Spectrum (ZX Spin Emulator)

[nitturo]

@Abrimaal the link you posted is broken, and we can also use custom palettes on emulators that supports ULAplus, like JSpeccy (FBZX will support it as well, in the next month)

@nitturo Link corrected. Have fun.

[nitturo]

@Abrimaal thanks! :)

@Abrimaal thanks, converted them all to ULAplus loaders (JSpeccy supports it) - try "0000002222FFFF2222BB222222DD2­2229922DDDD22BBBBBB0000004466F­FFF6666DD44BB66FF6644DDFFDDDD9­9FFFFFF for Msx1-ZxOptimized, 1818185D008CB50028E800D200E41D­00ABA8EFFF00CACACA3636366A00E4­FF001FFF00FF00FF0000CECAECFF5E­FFFFFF for MattelAquarius_ZxOptimized, and 5555558282C3C3828282418282C382­418282828241AAAAAA0000000000FF­FF0000FF00FF00FF0000FFFFFFFF00­FFFFFF for Sgi_4dwm" if you want! :)

@nitturo Thanx! I added them to the file, but I had to change black - both black colours must be the same value, because the most of games use black background. When they are different you would see squares. I think UnrealSpeccy emu also supports ULA+, I have some demos displaying screens in 40 or more colours (or this is interlace mode in Pentagon, now I really don't know).

[nitturo]

@Abrimaal you're welcome! and this one is for Grayscale: 0000001515153939394E4E4E707070­8686869B9B9BC0C0C00000001C1C1C­4C4C4C686868969696B2B2B2CECECE­FFFFFF - btw, demos using ULAplus are very rare still (i think those demos you're talking about are interlaced, not ULAplus, but i must check anyway)

[nitturo]

@Abrimaal the new recent version of FBZX emulator (2.6.0) is now supporting ULAplus as well - btw, you may enjoy this too, from MojonTwin's Subacuatic (most of their ULAplus games uses this palette): 0000004900FFB624009249AA496D00­246DFFB69200B6B6FF0000000049FF­DB4900B66DAA6DDB0000B6FFDBB655­FFFFFF

specy has very cold and steril colors

with more warm colors all graphics looks much better, like a c64!

[Abrimaal]

@gombabacsi Pity that there is no low resolution mode is Speccy, where you could use any of these colours. It is still impossible to mix palettes in the 8x8 square,

Watch this: / w a t c h ? v = Z P D K 3 o v 3 N R c

(off course without the sapces)

this is not a true emulator, this is a cop out, get a real emulator like the spectaculator!

[Abrimaal]

@rainxxxx I've been using Spectaculator for many years as well as Unreal Speccy. Each for different needs.

[rainxxxx]

yeah but spin's been tweaked that much, yer cant even call it a speccy, the point of an emulator is that it is supposed to mimmick the technology for what it was, not to improve on it, otherwise why bother!

[Abrimaal]

@rainxxxx In other emulators you can make environment changes in the ini files, here it is all in the menu. The ROMs remained unchanged, the chips emulation minimally improved. Have you heard about Pentagon 1024SL, a real machine from 2006 able to display 1x1 graphics, play 6 channel music, with HDD and other contemporary media support like USB or LCD monitor. BTW Spectaculator is very accurate, but I will not pay for it.

[Otouto72]

Wow that looks amazing.  I am definately getting this emulator.

[Abrimaal]

@Otouto72 and download the palettes from the link in the description :)
