  Dynamic HiRes wouldn't be very useful on CDTV. Dynamic HiRes pictures
take an incredible amount of bus time to display. Unless they were
smaller than the screen, they might be ok. SHAM is a much better mode
to think about adding, in fact the extra 6400 bytes needed in the file
isn't that much, SHAM animation would be possible especially on 1/3 of the
screen. (The 6400 bytes are the 16 words (colors) for each scanline.
A screen 1/3 the size would only need 2000 bytes extra information)
