-
- The point about blitterscreen is that planar hardware overtakes
- one of 4 conversion passes! So if you do for example 2 passes
- with a quick cpu, there is only 1 pass left for blitter instead
- of 2, which is quite a difference!
-
- The 2nd point is that in 2x2 modi cpu still only writes one byte
- per pixel. a 020-14 will copy fullscreen 2x2 chunky 256 colors in
- 1/4 frame.
