I'm wondering if the 2600 could move >that fast. The 2600 redraws the entire screen every frame, and is not beholden to a background tile buffer (like the NES), so it can scroll at any speed you like. Horizontal scrolling must be in increments of 4 pixels for playfield, but vertical can be any speed at single scanline resolution. - Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
