Someday I'll try it, too! :)

Well, it's weird: while F1-Spirit 3D Special works
right, everything scrolls fine, etc, Space Manbow acts
differently: background moves only in 8-pixel shifts,
while sprites move normally. I didn't bothered with
this because I see no reason to run Space Manbow in
MSX2+ mode at all - I was only curious. :) When you
use hardware scroll in a real MSX2+, do sprites move
horizontally along the background? Or should you move
them manually? Maybe it's some issue of SCREEN 4
implementation in BRMSX's MSX2+ mode.

Btw, Space Manbow looks GREAT in BRMSX's -res 11
(scanlines)... :)
