Vix in Japan's video: How the Amiga s HAM Mode Worked - 4096 Colours in 1985

If you enjoy my videos and channel, then consider supporting me from $2 a month on Patreon, which helps me allow time for creating videos like this and many others. http://patreon.com/pixel_vixen In this video I go into the technical details about how the Amiga's much vaunted HAM mode that when launched in 1985 allowed the Amiga to display all 4096 of its colours on screen, unprecedented for a personal computer at its price point. Through a detailed technical explanation of what happens at the pixel level to make this magic happen and some demonstrations of the mode in use and what it can be used for, this video explains some of the magic behind Hold and Modify on the Amiga. -- All photographs featured Copyright © Pixel Vixen, except for the Tokyo Night Scene which is under Creative Commons Zero license, see here: https://www.piqsels.com/en/public-domain-photo-zknvd Deborah Harry portrait Copyright Andy Warhol Estate, used for the purposes of education.
