Hi,

I have a question for you guys: Which hicolor mode will be the best choice
under Allegro? Does 15 bit offer a speed advantage over 16 bit, or is 16
bit faster, since it seems transfers can be done in double dwords?
Does 15 bit images take significantly less storage space than 16 bit
images?

I am developing a game that currently runs in 8bit color, and would like to
make it run in hicolor mode.
Which of these two modes would be best, 15 or 16 bit?

Please reply by mail if at all possible.

Fanx!
