a good start.. but it wont work on all devices :))
you should add a check for making sure the API call WinScreenMode()
is available.. you just need to check that it is 3.0 or above :))
with your "default" for-loop attempt.. you can try something like
this instead:
---
// change into the "highest" possible mode :P
{
UInt32 depthsToTry[] = { 8, 2, 1 };
UInt32 *depthPtr = &depthsToTry[0];
// loop until a valid mode is found
while (WinScreenMode(winScreenModeSet,NULL,NULL,depthPtr,NULL)) {
// try the next depth
depthPtr++;
}
}
---
that way, you might not want to go into 4bpp mode :))
cheers
