Great work, thanks. Would it be possible to add support for NeoGeo?
Would it be too much trouble to add a 15-bit option? the 32x comes to mind actually.
Not hard at all! Working on it!
Done :D
Awesome! This is wonderful and will be a ton of use when I’m porting in the megadrive direction.. How much trouble would it be to add a 4bit per channel option for us Amiga devs? 😊 (or custom numbers for other random systems?)
That’s a very good idea! I’m currently fine tunning the MD palette, but I can add easily a way to add custom systems and prepare some built-in profiles for other systems too! Thanks!
Hi! Updated with both Amiga, and an editor. Thanks again for such a great idea!
aaah amazing thank you!
