Hi, I've never been too sure about the memory layout of Mode-X and so on, so I am asking one simple question, would it be faster to :
a) blit 144 32x27 tiles to a Mode-X screen arranged so as to form a rectangle of 384x324, or b) blit the same tiles to a memory bitmap, then to the mode-x screen as a single rectangle of 384x324? And if the answer is a), which would be the fastest blitting order (you know, as in left to right, top to bottom or every odd, then every even or whatever) to minimise bank switching / whatever else takes up time in drawing to mode-x screens? -Thomas
