Does anyone know if there is a way to make KLAX show patterns instead of just colors on the blocks? I'm guessing it would be a ROM hack if it's even possible. My son is color blind and can not tell the difference between some of the colors on the blocks making it impossible for him to play that game.
 
Is he color blind to all colors, or just certain colors? I imagine it'd be some work to add patterns, though it may not be too tough to change the palette to colors he can differentate between.

Alternately, you could try messing with the RGB color pots on the monitor neck board. That way, you might be able to shift and alter the colors just enough so that your son can differentiate between the blocks. I'm not entirely sure this will work, but it's simple to do and might be worth a shot.
 
I have the same problem with my Klax. Some of the colors are hard for me to tell unless they are right next to each other. This is part of the reason I am looking to get rid of mine. I'd rather have Tetris anyway...
 
Klax is one of my grails.. I've yet to come across one, really looking for a clean cabaret version with nice original art, etc.. I don't think they're worth a whole lot when they do pop up, just haven't found it yet.
 
talk to buffet, I believe he has one..if your willing to drive to Va for it

EDIT: His is not a cabaret..

If you were closer we might be able to talk trade.

I actually saw the one Buffet has, I'm hoping to find the dedicated version. They have one at Crabtowne but the monitor is messed up and the colors are hard for anyone to distinguish.

Would your son maybe be interested in a tetris? ..The colors dont really matter since its all geometrical..
 
board is cheap just buy one (I have 2 or 3). Its 2 player 1 button horizontal jamma. The only odd part is that start flip are the same button.

if you like puzzle games, grab klax, columns, and tetris. Bust a move is also a no brainer. Also, try to find a freeze.
 
Like most games, I'm patient to get the right one. I have a lot of games (and projects) now, so waiting for another isn't a big deal. I was looking into this ahead of time so I could have the ROMs or other hack ready when the time comes. I think DogP had the best suggestion so far with changing the color palette to colors he can differentiate. Looks like it may be time for me to learn how to change things in the ROMs. I love to learn more and more about a lot of things so this is my motivation to learn how to modify game ROMs.
