First off, I have only seen ICC used with playfield graphics (Boulderdash
prototypes) and have to say that all three examples you posted were
jaw-dropping in comparison.
I tend to agree with Thomas about ICC's ability to deliver nice colors and
greater vertical resolution (especially in the green and red sections).
However, I believe Spasticolor works! It was the first one I loaded into my
supercharger and I was immediately blown away by the color depth and detail
of the image. There's essentially no flicker, so it doesn't give my eyes a
hernia.
IMHO, Spasticolor a valid, flicker-free(ish) alternative to ICC and your
demo was a success. I imagine that the image also requires less ROM as
well. Is this correct? That may be another advantage to using Spasticolor.
I am humbled... (as always around here.)
