Yes, I would try otherwise:-) But for the raytracing is not true at all.The copper can ONLY help and can help alot for HAM.I haven't done any calculation on my ham images but I sure I could break down 30-9% to 3-1% color diference from 12 bitplanes images with the copper. Also it allow a new video mode, where you have a diferrent palette for each scan line.And it's rare that images use sizex of diferent colors on 1 scan line.
