RyJuZo, what exactly do you have in mind when talking about pre-building graphics on RAM and then dumping to VRAM? I mean, why doing this instead of using pre-generated graphics?

The main reason is to save space. I would like to be able to fit a game on a 512k ROM
But I also want to have smooth animation, not a two frame animation more like eight or ten frames.

And since the Turbo-R is very FAST in RAM and very SLOOWW in VRAM.
You can draw and create GFX - EFFECTS in ram move it to VRAM and then use it in the game.

for example I will use it to mirror/rotate GFX so I only have to draw it looking one way...

(btw do you also own a GFX9000 or Moonsound, if not are you planning to? the reason I ask is because I wonder how many people have them. I would like to support them in my games for even more beautiful gfx, together with a turbo-R I can create some pretty awesome games...I am releasing a small demo soon demonstrating the way my (future) games will look like on turbo-r+gfx9000 )
