Software - Colourisation Definition Files

The following presents a selection of colourisation definition files for enhancing the appearance of existing programs by assigning colours to each character in the character set. The files are for use with Chroma Program Enhancement Creator and ZX ROM Cartridge Creator utilities. Click the cassette icons next to each screenshot to download the program and colour files. Click images bordered in white to see detailed program information about those programs.

Unless specified otherwise, configuration switch 1 should be on, switches 2, 3 and 4 should be off, switch 6 should be on, and the state of switch 5 is not important. For games using User Defineable Characters, set switch 4 to on when using QS Character board mode or set switch 3 to on when using CHR$128 mode.
