The Denise is responsible for handling most of the graphics related tasks, including the native screens and support for up to eight hardware sprites. It supports up to 32 colours per screen from a palette of 4096, or 4096 colours on screen in HAM-6 mode. Some versions of Denise (usually those in the ECS chipset) also support EHB mode (extra half-brite) which is up to 64 colours on screen, however the second 32 colours MUST be half the brightness of the first 32. Denise is the ECS & OCS chipset equivalent of Lisa, found in the AGA chipset.
