Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I'm a bit confused about MOD-VGA, and would not find it surprisig if I'm not the only one... Question is... If one attach a MOD-VGA to a DuinoMite eMega, will one be able to get colour graphics then? Or do one have to make drivers, routines, recode/recompile the DMBasic and so on?

Can I issue a CIRCLE(10,10),10,4 to get a coloured circle just after plugging it in?

The sort answer is NO.

So all I have to do is to solder two jumpers together on the MOD-VGA and perhaps upgrade the DuinoMite eMega to latest firmware?

I'll quote from the page I wrote and sent you to:

Software Support:
MaxiMite-BASIC currently has no support for Gameduino, to the best of my knowledge.

DuinoMite-Basic.
Ken Segler has done most of the work for this, however it wasn't fully finished and tested.

Ken Segler's code is available from the DuinoMite GitHub archives.
A user manual (to be released) gives details of the jumper settings for the DuinoMite.
