So having 7 colors is nice but incredibly limited .... i wanted more.

But more colors = more memory and processing power. So i sacrifieced a huge part of the sprite system (which nobody would use anyways) and added additional buffers to enable 6 bit color -> 64 possible colors.

Also a USB-UART adapter is used to send framedata with a 230400 Baudrate.

The result is up to 5 FPS and with a small python script i can even play some GIF´s

Obviously, it looks much better in reality .... damn phone camera ; )
