A tip for screenshots.

If you use VICE to take screenshots turn off the PAL-emulation to get screenshots with more realistic colours.

@Zyron: Nopes, Vice doesn't save screenshots with PAL emulation, but it saves screenshots with a wrong palette if PAL emulation is turned on. Look here:

Normal 16 color shot: http://www.oxyron.de/html/deus1.gif

Wrong palette shot: http://www.oxyron.de/html/deus2.gif

Real PAL emulation shot (done with "print" button): http://www.oxyron.de/html/deuspal.jpg

Maybe it's just me, but the screenshot with PAL emulation just looks much better, whereas the no PAL emulation screenshot has these ugly candy colours.

@Steppe: The "candy" colors is just a matter of your saturation setting in Vice.

So if the candy colours are not it, what indicates the wrong palette then? Because I totally agree with Steppe.

Kodak Gold in an oldschool camera and a decent scanner, that is what we need.

Or somebody who's willing to actually draw a copy of what's displayed.

JSL could do it.

@Nafcom: First, the PAL emulation screenshots has the same colors as the 16 color screenshot. Only the "wrong colors" shot has a wrong palette. To get this palette in Vice, simply divide the saturation setting by 2.

You meant a setting in Vice, sorry. Clear now :)
Thanks!
