Effect

Converts a screen 5 picture into screen 8. It must be previously loaded in computer VRAM with BLOAD and the result of the conversion can be saved with BSAVE.

Notes:

• The result can be slightly different with the color palette, because screen 8 has a fixed palette of 256 colors while 512 colors are possible on screen 5. In case of weird colors, think to use COLOR=NEW before CALL SCAN58.
• You can also start with a screen 2 picture and use CALL SCAN25 followed by CALL SCAN58.
