MSX Viewer Appendix - English translation

Tuesday, April 29, 2008 - 21:31
Submitted by: MarMSX
Topic: Development

Marcelo Teixeira Silveira from Brazil has created an English translation of his MSX Viewer Appendix. This is a PDF document which explains MSX screen modes in their fullest detail while still being understandable for beginning MSX'ers, it's a valuable document for novice MSX developers!

Interlaced resolutions text to fix:
512 x 412 -> 512 x 424
256 x 412 -> 256 x 424

Another thing to attend to:

for msx1 screens: show the real msx1 palette, not the msx2 version!

Fixed the rel.link.

btw, you may really need to include the real MSX1 colors at some point.
