@loke @eobet If I understand the trade-offs correctly:

If you make every 8-pixel block a different color, you won't have time for anything else during screen drawing.

So any amount of driving the demo, loading the registers for future color changes, filling audio buffers, etc, will have to happen either by having the same color for a few blocks, or during vblank (and hblank?).

On the ST you don't have a copper or blitter (or was that the STFM only?), so the CPU really needs to directly drive the border flipping.

A nest resolution line on the screen needs to be basically a run of static load instructions, so changing the screen means setting those up.

Am I understanding the limitations correctly?
