# '''Offset''' (32 bit) - This input dictates the address offset for the screen. It's useful when your video memory is allocated at some offset of PC's RAM and not in a separate RAM component.It's also useful when you want to put multiple Console screens together to achieve bigger resolutions.

=== Working with Console: ===
Firstly, connect a [[Ram|RAM]] component to the Console using the [[Link Components]] button on the right-top side.

Then, you need to choose the display mode:
[[File:Component Console Color Mode.png|thumb|298x298px|Console (Color Mode)]]

==== Normal Mode: ====
In this mode, every byte of RAM is representing a character defined by the [[Code Page]]

==== Color Mode: ====
In this mode, each character takes 7 bytes. (it's 8 byte aligned for convenience)

The first byte is the same as in Normal Mode.

Next 3 bytes represent the character color (in "RRRRRRRR GGGGGGGG BBBBBBBB" format).

And the last 3 bytes represent the character's background color (same format).
