256 Color Speccy Emulator?

[DaveC]

It seems there is an emu that has support for hacked speccy games that use 256 colors. Sounds interesting. I wonder if that could be done here for the GP2X?

The DS guys are looking at it here:

I thought Spectrum games that had 256 colours were just using creative palette shifting.

And somone needs to go through and recolour all of the original sprites - if u can find em in the code - some games used compression and encryption so it can be a pain in the a**.

However, when it's done well these games a sweet - the re-coloured Head over Heels is great.

There was a machine called the SAM Coupe basically a souped up Spectrum with more colours.

Sam Coupe Emu anyone?
