Servers use colormaps even if the hardware is not using a palette.

Whenever the hardware uses palettes, only a limited number of colormaps can be installed.

First, there is the question of what hardware and software to use.

I had no idea that so much hardware is still using such old designs.

That's the IR projector that the hardware uses to see in the dark.

He points out the hardware uses a structured light system to create its 3D tracking.

The hardware could use some polish, too.

External hardware, connected through cartridge slots, uses timings similar to Z80.

The same argument applies when hardware of this type uses an embedded microcontroller or other small processor.

Older, second-gen hardware can use redsn0w with 3.0.1 or earlier firmware, but not with 3.1.
