Panda

Not everyone has two monitors. In our country, color monitors are rare and not everyone wants to have a second one next to their b/w monitor. But nevertheless many would like to run a color game or test during programming if their program would run on color. PANDA offers an ideal solution. PANDA emulates the color mode on a b/w monitor. Once started, your ST wakes up in low or medium resolution: Emulation of medium and low resolution, grayscale conversion, four-frame mode, saving the image in 32K and DEGAS format, variable setting of the refresh rate, display of the original image. Despite the enormous computing work that PANDA has to do in the background, it reaches speeds of up to 90% depending on the image frequency.
