| Boot Logo - what the hell? |
| (1/4) > >> |

I spend all this time makin a ***NICE*** looking boot logo. I mean, I spent hours forkin' around with the palette and ended up with something I can live with. When I was finally in a spot to throw "Bootskin" on my Mame PC with my logo goodness, the colors were all off. Is it possible that some computer BIOSes have a limited color palette from which to work and because I don't know what that is or how to get at it, my time and effort is really trial and error? Crap!

That's interesting. That's the exact tut I used to get started. It leaves out a few steps which I had to figure out on my own (i.e. you can't set your indexed colors to 16. You must set it to 15 or lower or the image ends up being an 8-bit image) I'm just wonderin' about my PC bios and what appears to be a limited palette. |

What motherboard do you have? |
