Sorry to say that (snif snif) but the DMA ROM>VRAM doesn't appear to be so fast... Only 192 tiles during a VBLANK (in PAL, 240 in NTSC). VRAM access seems quite slow, even DMA (and even slower during VBUSY)... (thx Steve & Stef for the info). However, 192*32 = 6KB... And i'm not sure that 68K can tr...

Ok, i edited my message with your updates.

About the 4bits left in VRAM... Steve told me that the VDP was préparing something (like a preliminary Y sorting) few ms before outputing pixels to TV. I'm pretty sure it is working using those 4bits, any idea?

I want, I want, please PM me :D

The segacd part is indeed a very complex task, i really want to see how you handled it :)

Also, did you fix the segacd register listing bug? (the adresses were reversed from 0xFF to 0x0 instead of 0x0 to 0xFF).
