I am starting to tinker around with 7800 programming, and need a few things.

Does anyone have a color chart? Also, I am using (I think) 160 mode and would like to know how to display sprites with more than one color. Any help is greatly appreciated!

The color demo will show all colors on screen:
 Color.zip   1.38K   132 downloads

I didn't see this file in the 7800 section of the site. It doesn't look like anything that somebody would claim copyright on but I apologize to the mods if I'm wrong about that.

A long time ago I made a palette in "The Gimp" using this demo, but it was based on an old version of MESS with a bad palette.

The most direct source of accurate colors would be to get the RGB values from underball's palette he developed for the prosystem emulator. Not sure how that file is formatted though.

160 mode always supports at least 3 colors per sprite. The standard 160A mode is 2bpp, so that's 3 colors + transparent. You don't get into monochrome unless you're using 320.
