Re: A83: an idea for greyscale




no, I know that. But what I was saying was that by skipping the bytes that
were the same, you would have to write to the display controller much less.
I was just wondering if this would be enough for greyscale (like in picture
viewers or something)

Or maybe you could make a fastcopy routine that just writes a 48x32 size
picture.  I'm sure that would be enough for greyscale (although it would be
1/4 the normal size)
