static void bgClearControlBits	(	int	id,
		u16	bits
	)

inlinestatic

Clears the specified bits from the backgrounds control register.

Parameters

id	background id returned from bgInit or bgInitSub
bits	sets the specified bits to clear in the backgrounds control register

static void bgExtPaletteDisable ( void )

inlinestatic

Disable extended palettes.

When extended palettes are enabled all tiled backgrounds which utilize 16 bit map entries will use extended palettes. Everything else will continue to use standard palette memory.

Each tile on the screen may chose one of 16 256-color palettes. Each background has its own set of 16 palettes meaning you can have 4*16*256 colors on screen

Each background uses 8K of palette memory starting at the base of the vram bank you allocate (which bank is up to you within limits, see the vram usage table to determine which banks can be mapped for textures). These 8K blocks are often refered to as "slots" with each background getting its own slot.

By default, Background 0 uses slot 0 ... Background 3 uses slot 3. It is possible to assign Background 0 to slot 2 and Background 1 to slot 3 (only these two are configurable)
