Why are the colors all messed up when I run 800x600x256 graphics mode programs?
By default, TINY will automatically send 800x600x256 graphics screens in compressed nibble format. This mode uses only half as much bandwidth as sending the full color data, but the costs is that you only get half as much color information. DOS graphics applications tend to only use the first 16 colors anyway, so typically this is ok. If you are using an 800×600 application that really uses all the colors and you want to see them all, you can manually select this mode on the client by clicking on “Host Screen Mode” and selecting the non-compacted 800×600 mode. Note that this will be MUCH slower than compacted mode. Also note that when you quit out of the graphics application, you’ll have to go back into the “Host Screen Mode” menu and re-select “Auto” to see the text screen again.
