Maybe you should also create a 262 line PAL colours version. That might be a good idea. If you want to try out how the speed is for the PAL version, you need to use the -5 switch in z26 to make PAL games run at 50Hz. Then you could speed up the music and maybe some of the gameplay, if nessessary. I haven't had much time to test the game yet, but one thing I noticed was that you seem to have added the extra lines for PAL all at the end of the frame. This is not a good idea, as this will make the display appear at the very top of the TV screen. It's better to add half of the lines to the VBLANK counter at the start of the frame. That way the game screen will be centered on a PAL TV. > A note about z26: the PAL colours are way off compared to a real PAL setup. > The colours in z26 are too pale and washed out. > When running on the real thing the colours are just as vibrant as the NTSC > colours. I don't think they are that far off. Of course that depends on how you have tuned your TV-set and your monitor. But if you really think the colours in z26 are too inacurate, maybe you could create a better palette for us. Maybe you could take a screenshot of the second screen of the colour test program (the one where you can see all 128 colours at once) and edit the palette untill the picture looks like the display on your TV.
