Oh? Is that so???
Well then I was wrong about that.
But still the SNES has much, much better graphical capabilities.
As said, I think the transparent layer is AWESOME.
(it sure must be a powerfull videochip to do that).
By the way, the SNES emulator zSNES DOES support transparent layers (used a
lot in i.e. Chrono Trigger, awesome game btw), however you must run the
computer in VESA2 640x480 mode.
(VESA1.2 640x480 mode will also work but then the graphics can't be
'softened' which doesn't look very nice)
However running zSNES in MODEQ looks nice (25% scanlines) and it is really
fast (VESA2 640x480 is actually too slow on my P233... it doesn't reach full
framerate). However, it doesn't support transparency...
As always, one has to make choices.
