Hi there!

So I survived another Christmas. Unfortunately my wife bought "Legend of 
Zelda - The Minish Cap" for me, I hope it doesn't slow down the 
development of CB too much... ;-)

40 PF "bits". Each PF bit is 4 pixels wide and 40*4=160. And they're not 
square, that's why I'm refering to them as "double width" (I think it's 
like the C64 hires modes (320*200) vs. the multicolor ones (160*200) - in 
the multicolor modes the pixels are twice as wide)

It's very similar to Kuru..., yes :-)
