Would you say that if I write a colour cycling program and run it in dosbox, it isn't real colour cycling because it is being emulated?

- ajross 15y agoGiven that dosbox is an "emulator" (says so right there in the man page!), yes. You expected a different answer? Dosbox doesn't support "true" palette animation either (well, unless you give it access to the real VGA registers of real hardware, which can be done in some emulators). The point was that the programming technique required to make this work is not the same as the one used on palette hardware, so calling it the "true" effect is going to be confusing to people who don't know exactly how this works.
