 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Hi Rick, Almost all games that run on RP2040 picomite Will also run on RP2350(B) picomite. Appart from that Peter has ported some BBC basic programs over to 2350. These Will not run on 2040 since it either misses commands/functions or do not have sufficient RAM Since the video memory is different between WIFI builds and non-WIFI builds, the common denominator has to be found on what video modes to use that Will run all system. At the moment there are Some 20+ games for 2040 that you can run. Volhout Edited 2026-10-18 18:08 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

The 16 colors result from the fact that only 4 bits per pixel are used. Due to the hardwired configuration of the PICOMITE VGA models, the RGB 121 color scheme has become the standard (i.e., 1 bit for red, 2 bits for green, and 1 bit for blue). With a little imagination and skill, this allows you to create some quite appealing images.  Game characters (SPRITES&TILES) can also be drawn quite impressively using this method; see Volhouts PETSCII ROBOTS. When PICO2 came out, the HDMI output was added, the system was expanded so that the 16 colors can now be assigned to user-defined colors: Color MAP The limit remains at 16 colors (4-bit) per image, but you can now choose them freely. You can find a summary of many of the games here: Picomite VGA games Cheers Martin Edited 2026-10-18 20:47 by Martin H. 'no comment |

If you find games that error on your 2350 system, please reply. I have brought most titles up to V6 compatibility, but cannot ensure V7 compatibility yet. Too many platforms .... Volhout Edited 2026-10-19 22:44 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |
