Hiya!
I was gifted an Acer 500+ XT setup and it has a CGA card , the setup is working fine but the composite colors are way off. First of all a picture of the card:
It's a combo card as it also carries the FDD/IO controller and (maybe) an RTC (I assume that's the reason a BR2033 is there). It uses the 6845 crt controller, similar to the IBM cards AFAIK.
This is what I get in composite modes, left are pictures from the internet and right the picture I get:
and here is King's Quest 2 with pictures taken from GH's blog so this is the real deal (maybe the KQ1 pics are from there too, I just used google image search...)
as you can see that's quite a difference... if anyone here has any idea of what to check and attempt to fix please do tell. Any extra info/tests are easy to do as well.
Thanks in advance for any help/tips!
😊
