<br>
The original Digilent Spartan3 board had 3 bit video (i.e. 8
colors possible). OberonStation <br>
has 6 bit video (i.e 64 colors possible) and Pepino has 8 bit
video (256 colors possible).<br>
For Oberon, all 3, 6 or 8 bits are either off or on for a
monochrome display.<br>
<br>
As you can see on the Pepino wiki page some project (like Super
Mario Brothers and Pacman) are using multi-color display.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
Still thinking about Oberon-FPGA colours, while I am no expert on
u-electrocnics.
What if the resolution is decreased to keep the same memory buffer, and
perhaps make the bigger point size then (= twin, quad pixels). I am led
to believe this would be similar to ATARI ST / Sinclair QL, the higher
resolution the fewer colours, and vice versa? Or am I thinking of
something silly and complicated?

Many thanks.
