Goes through a 16->512 indirection table, then selects which 512 color bank to take from 4096. This is used to do colour rotations (the red-yellow rotation of the lava sprites from Galaxy force for instance) without changing the color palette, also allows it to have sprites that rotate colors and sprites that don't on the same screen, and to get different levels of luminosity as well Sprite Structure : Sprites follow each other in memory except when you stumble on a "go to <another sprite>"

  • Video resolution : 320 x 224
  • Board composition : Main board + Rom board
  • Board Features : 4 BG planes and technically infinite sprites of arbitrary size, BG planes can all be scaled and linescrolled, alpha blending, global RGB brightness control
