Yes, just do it. Although I am not developer so I cannot promise you that it will be added to CVS.

We can just keep it white and let people with half decent monitors fiddle with red/green/blue settings 😀

Sure, I wouldn't mind it. I may add it to my DOSBox CVS builds that i do for people on Windows computers.
See my sig for where our forums are at.

would there be any interest in this functionality (it also can do green monitors , or actually any color you like 😉 )? If so I'lll port it to the latest cvs and make a nice patch.

It would be a good idea to have a "monochrome" setting in the INI-file somewhere, being able to set the monochrome color as well. For Hercules, a color would be enough, for CGA (my old CGA-monitor can do color as well as geen and amber (3-state switch on top)), a few levels would be needed. For EGA and VGA monochrome emulation you'd need more of course, including different base ports for some registers and blinking graphics... Maybe it is a good idea to keep it simple, and do Hercules color first 😀.

Ok, ill try to make a patch and post it here, so people can try it out.
At the moment it works by fiddling with the palette mapping table, so it'll only work for 256 color modes, but last time I looked that was all dosbox supported anyway 😉.

I'll wait for the reactiosn before sending it to the sourfeforge patches list.

It's exactly what I've been looking for a long time!!! Your idea is superb, since I had a PC-XT machine with a lovely green CGA monitor. You have my agreement to insert it into DosBox, so I can get rid of those CGA-VGA mode with that ugly cyan/magenta colors!! :happyhappy:
