Adam,

I got a lot of experience with the Astrocade palette when I worked out the colors for MESS.

A little while ago, Glenn Saunders put together some code which generates an HTML table with all the Atari 2600 colors in it. I liked the idea, and planned on making a table with the Astrocade colors in it as well.

Well, I finally slapped together a Python script which generated the web page, using the same equation as MESS. Here it is:

There are pop-up messages in IE with the actual color codes in it. I must admit that I stole the HTML code from Glenn, but I'm generating it completely differently :)

If you still have some trouble sorting out the color stuff, post your little Z80 program and I'll have a look. I still like Z80 assembly :)

Thanks,
Frank
