I am new to programming on the TI 84 CE, eZ80, and I am trying to figure out how the vRam interprets 8bpp colors. I read on the wiki that it uses the 8-bit number to be an index to the regular, 16bpp color palette. How does it point to the correct color if the 16bpp color palette is a memory location and it is an 8-bit number??
I read elsewhere that you need to convert to convert the 8bpp to 1:5:5:5, but that still doesn't make much sense to me.
I have been trying to figure this out for a few days.
Maybe I am going at this 8bpp thing all wrong, all I know is I want to use 8bpp.
Any help would be appreciated!
