Having a play with some more modes, I call this one GB lite
linking tweet because image upload issues.

Sounds interesting. Can you provide the link or demo-program? Nothing to see in the post above.

What differs from the 160*100 multicolor mode?

There should be a link or embed version of the tweet above with the photo? Shows for me? But if not here is the prg cloud.cbm8bit.com/oziphantom/vdcMonoTest.prg160x100 4 shades of a colour, not multicolour just shades. However it is Text Mode, so you can double buffer on 16K VDC. Or single buffer and use the other 8K for DMA source data. |

Ah, I see. Several pixels per character and only two real colors, but with dithering patterns. However, it gets expensive with masking but if 64 kB is required it could be pretty useful.

well its 16K no 64K. if you have 64K might as well just go for Multicolour mode.

Would motion cause a lot of image flickering? The picture is very stable on my monitor. |

another advantage I just though off is since this is text mode, you can use "offset" and rather than double buffer make a screen that is 2x as wide.
you would need to update every 2 frames to keep it "even" I think. Since it is interlace if you switch on the odd frame you would probably get the dreaded "movement lines".
