    Quoted from Insane:

    i hope someone does a plug and play, programmed for xyz game if possible.

    The easiest to do would be Rocky and Bulwinkle. You can basically make a very nice color pallete based on pixel brightness (basically DMD Extender style) R & B is the VERY BEST looking game for this!

    Skip to 3:45 of this vid to see it

    Quoted from ecurtz:

    Is it changing palettes for Sherman? I thought Data East was 4 color, but it's been a while since I played R&B.

    It is 4 color. IIRC: white, tan, brown and black. That pallet is for the entire rom (not scene)

    Every character is consistent throughout the rom. The 4 colors work with each character.

    Most roms, have characters that varies (pixel brightness) per scene. R & B doesn't. Its consistent

    Its my vid, utilizing pinmame - with colors set pet pixel percentage. The pinkish looking was probably my [EDIT] tan,
    I used no tricks, no hacks, but my camera - monitor viewing angle might've altered colors slightly.I dont have pinmame running on any of my current PCs, but anyone can verify using pinmame.

    EDIT ~ The tan definitely appeared pinkish.

    Colors must've been: White, Pinkish Tan, Brown, and Black

    Disclaimer: I have never owned (nor do I wish to) a R&B. I was just a person that discovered that games consistency within the pixel brightness settings (via PinMAME) and found a single color scheme that worked well.

    I have a DMD Extender, and used it on a couple games (JM and HSII).
    I messed with most every pinmame (with a dmd) game. R&B is the only game that I could make that consistent nice characters within PinMAME (DMD Extender styled)

    Will Elis board work with P-ROC? I believe the timing cycles are different than other systems.
