- It is perfectly feasable to display non-full screen anims on an FC24.
-
- The transfer rate to the board is reasonably high if you're willing
- to animate a subsection of the display.
-
- When writing data to the FC24, you write a 32-bit word which contains
- R,G,B and Alpha data; this occurs at the 7mhz bus rate, plus CPU
- inst4ruction execution time. ALl in all, you could put up quite a few
- pixels at 24 fps.
-
- The catch (there usually is one) is that I know of no software to DO
- this. :^(
