I remember a discussion about this quote on gp2x.com specifications page:
By looking a screenshot made with fbgrab, it seems it's true, the image has less colors than the original, and it's a software thing:
Left: GP2X's framebuffer; Right: Original PNG image used as background picture
Why would have GPH reduced the screen colors by software? wouldn't be better 24/32bit?
Or did I missed something?
EDIT: I think 260,000 colors is 18bits. A bit weird :huh:
