MODE 9 - 40x32x16

Demonstration of 'MODE 9' (BBC)

MODE 9 is a medium-resolution screen MODE, selectable with the *MODE command or the NewModes sideways ROM module, that replicates the functionality of the native RISC OS MODE 9.[1]

The MODE 9 code adapts the MODE 2 screen to provide a 16-colour version of MODE 1, 40 × 32 characters in 16 colours. It does this by redefining the character set to provide thin characters.

   LDA #&08:STA &34F            \ Byte per character

The character set needs to be redefined to be four pixels wide, such as with the one used with NewModes.

MODE 9 - 10x25x16

Demonstration of 'MODE 9' (BBC)

MODE 9 is also the unofficial title of an ultra-low resolution screen MODE, developed by Ian Robertson and published in The Micro User magazine (November 1985, p.123). It works on the BBC Micro but not the Electron, or the Archimedes where MODE 9 is the official 16-colour version of MODE 1).

The MODE 9 code adapts the MODE 6 screen to provide a 10 × 25 text display in 16 colours. The MOS does not allow complete support of this MODE and some bugs can be seen: for instance, text windows do not work correctly.

   MODE 6     :REM Base MODE
   ?&30A=9    :REM Characters per line
   ?&34F=32   :REM Bytes per character
