But let's not get overoptimistic, it doesn't work yet. If you wish you can take a look how we did this on Speccy. Sure there are no 50fps too. This techniqe called "Direct disk animation". The idea is very simple - you're writting an amination is preprocessed format. Then eash fps you're reading one sector from disk (this takes ~29.000 t-states for 256 bytes sector). Each frame of amination may take different amount of sectors because it is depends on method of how animation was preprocessed (it may be packed, pixelised, etc). After reading all sectors of frame were readed you're doing what you need to convert it into normal picture and show it on the screen then. Most such animations on Speccy has 5...10 fps :) For example you can watch our demo called "ReFresh" (http://xtm.da.ru/) or PowerUP from same site (dowload disk versions only). For those interested I can say where to download and what to do with disk image which is actually "video" disk for Speccy. There are famous animation converted to Speccy. > -tobermory
