Sorry guy but the Enchanced Sprite accellerator is only available for the
SNES VDP familly :(
Maybe if someone do have information about the VDP used in the NEC PC
ENGINE or NEC core GRAFX, if I remember well the VDP used for this game
station was very powerfull for sprite stuff....
and what about 3DFX technology ;-)
or TMS320C80 from TEXAS INSTRUMENTS? (1 RISC + 4 DSP in the same chip) ??? ;-)
