Screen 512*240

From Ivan Zyryanov → To All 25 June 2005
Good day, %to!
There is such a computer: Profi
NGM has an extended screen 512*240
There, through a familiar place, there are mixed, as it were, 2 ordinary Spectrum screens
1 third higher and without attributes, attributes separately for each
mask byte in a separate page.
Back then in 98-99 I had a thought: why do it through
familiar - this greatly slows down the work with such a screen and
Bgt on compatibility. These 2 Spectrum ones are much more convenient
screen place 1 next to the other from left to right. Then logic
the work would be exactly the same as with 2 Spectrum screens with
different addresses.
If you select 2 pages in the upper memory and link them (yes, although
and not only them, but any page) from zero address for reading
and recording by latch on some port, then you can strongly
increase the information density of the screen, which is exactly the same
can be scrolled in 3-4 frames.
WBR, Ivan Zyryanov
