Paradox breaks the rules on STe!

April 18, 2004 by Brume

News illustration image Until yesterday the STe was officially able to display 320x200 pixels on screen and use a palette with 4096 colors (16 colors at screen only). Some developers and democrews managed to use an extended palette with 32.768 colors on it, but still in 320x200 pixels.

Paradox has found the way to increase STe capacities: their new demo shows 640x400 pixels on screen, with 14.000 colors on it (the palette contains 29.791 colors)!

Actually the screens scrolls, this is not a fixed slideshow. The result is very incredible! This demo runs on STe/MegaSTe, so please run it on this machines only. Don't try it with Steem, the screens are fully corrupted. And keep the demo on a disk, since it doesn't run from the hard drive.

Download the MSAed version of Highres now!

Random review

Real golf bores me to death, but this game is truly funny. You don't have to choose the right club out of a set of thirty, or to calculate the wind direction and intensity, or the friction of the terrain; just hit the ball and try to send it inside the hole.

Did you know?

Rumours say the operating system of the ST, called TOS, is short for "Tramiel Operating System".
