I need some SDL testing if anyone has a real Amiga RTG machine to see if the colors look OK.

A4000T with CyberVision 64/3D using Picasso96 and testing on 800x600 resolution.

Window
32 bit - Good
24 bit - Good
16 bit - Good
8 bit - not so good


Fullscreen
32 bit - Good
24 bit - Good
16 bit - Good
8 bit - Good

Thanks for testing :)

With the window 8 bit mode, I've found that it works better if you select the 8 bit screen mode in the Prefs and then you need to restart. If you switch from a higher color mode to 8 bit without a restart then the OS doesn't seem to release the pens (I think this in an OS bug). Saying that, 8 bit will always look a bit crap because it can only use empty pens and most people have a background picture which won't leave many pens available.

Do you know if CyberVision 64/3D is big endian?

There is no point in testing different color depths with full screen mode as it opens it's own 8 bit screen (I'm more interested in the window mode colors).
