The extension also works with a +3K RAM expansion, and then it leaves 4351 bytes free instead of only 1279 on the unexpanded VIC-20. Bigger RAM expansions are indeed not supported.MINIGRAFIK (unexpanded VIC): The original MINIGRAFIK that inspired Mike to do his own (much improved) version. [...]

It is really just bit 3 of the background/border colour register set to zero. This inverts all (hires) characters. You can then have 16 different "foreground" colours, but only one of them - but the background for each character can be chosen from the 8 first colours.PhilRanger wrote:What is the "extended color" mode?

I guess, it is the inverted mode (VIC register 15, bit 3 = 0), where foreground and background colors are swapped and you can choose from 16 foreground colors instead of 8.PhilRanger wrote:What is the "extended color mode?
