I know why I doesn't ask for your opinion (at least - till now...)

The scroll needs between 96 and 800 Bytes per interrupt...

This idea sounds very interesting!

I think I solved them - let's c what about the speed...
Data I have to store (with approx. byte-size)
real vram-data: 14.976
various vram: 98.304 (where are the darn enemys... ;P )
level: 49.152 (Levelsize = 64 screens)
animation+
objectinfo: 32.768
code: 16.000 ?????
kernel-code: 5.000 ?????
musicdata: ?????
