Any idea, why xenon2 in CGA is only b/w ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm6StU-SBzk These CGA-Games look really good with the alternate-pal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ALFWx1ufVk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcbGpQdIU0A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X74Z4K-2dIs https://www.youtube.com/ …

Sounds good, hopefully it will run on my iMac with wine. The img_cga2.rar is quite nice with gui, but it's laking some features like changing the cga-pal and the output of an usefull image-format like gif, pcx or lbm.

PC-Paint 3.1 can be used in CGA and there you can choose for every possible palette. The "cga-convert-program" above generates rle/cga binary files from bmp-bitmaps, but I can't use/display them afterwards, so I will go for Paintshop-Pro 5.x instead, because I can't find a progam that is optimized …

8088mph does not work on rgb-cga machines, only on composit. That's way it's not working on my EuroPC too. Btw. this russian? converter tool is nice, but it has no option for changing the palette, it seems only support the standard-cga-palette.

Some games used the "red" instead of "mangenta" (afair galaxian) http://www.oldskool.org/shrines/lbd/graphics/ CGA (Computer Graphics Adapter) always struck me as finicky. The video memory layout was interlaced, which means that the first 8K was every even-numbered scanline and the last 8K was every …

No, that's plain RGBI CGA. It uses a very clever trick to do so, which sadly only works on the original PC/XT due to tight timing requirements. Thx for making that clear! I'll check this on my EuroPC. http://www.oldskool.org/shrines/lbd/graphics/ The only game I ever ran that used some of the above …

Does someone know a tool where I can watch cga-images and switch between the palettes? otherwise I have to use paintshop-pro and convert the images to the cga-palette I want.

but that are ntsc color artefacts when using composite mode. therefore I only have a schneider europc i'll have to stick to cga-rgb 🙁 But this game looks awesome on cga (alternative palette) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR0oAjhXBcE&t=130s more colors, mean lower res (160x100) or textmode.

GLX212 has no CGA support, but it works with MDA, EGA and VGA. Perhaps there is an earlier version (before 2.12) that has CGA support. I can't find any other version than 2.12 in the web, perhaps someone has an erlier one. The other way could be making contact to the main coder (Carlo Vogelsang) but …

It gets much worse ich a voodoo-card is in the system. win9x with native 2d card at 640x480@60hz is not the same as glide/ogl voodoo at 640x480@60hz.
