Each pair of pixels in a character location has a bitmask which denotes which color should be represented: %00 for background color 0 ($d021), %01 for the upper nibble of the screen matrix, %10 for lower nibble of the screen matrix and %11 for the lower nibble of Screen RAM. This is as a result of the formation of double-wide pixels but with the added advantage of 4 colors per character location. All 16 colors can be used.Ī multicolour bitmap resolution (160 x 200) is halved horizontally from a standard bitmap (320 x 200). Each 8 x 8 pixel character location can contain 4 different colors: 1 color is defined per character location, 1 color is defined for the background, 2 colors are defined using the screen matrix (same as a hi-res bitmap) and the last is defined using the colour RAM.

Table 2 shows the possible graphics modes available from the VIC-II. The Mish Mash Map Mod is a graphical modification to Victoria II. Multicolor Bitmap Mode is 1 of 5 legal graphics modes achievable by the VIC-II the others being combinations of the bits ECM, BMM and MCM. In Control Register 2 ($d016), bit 4 (MCM) must be set. In Control Register 1 ($d011) bit 6 ( ECM) must be cleared and bit 5 ( BMM) must be set. However, there are limitations on how the colors are implemented. The mode allows for pictures of up to 160 x 200 pixel resolution and 16 colors across the screen. It can be considered Medium Resolution (compared to the High Resolution Standard Bitmap Mode). You just extract it, and play Remember to restart the game after configuring your graphics and sound (see step 4 above). Multicolor Bitmap Mode is an official Graphics Mode for the Commodore 64.
