Would someone care to explain this technique to me so I can put it in my book
of tricks. I can mix screen modes and palettes but getting a screen res of
704x262 sounds weird to me. I reckon its a perverted medium res screen but I
would be happy with a 16 colour 352x262 low res one if it is stable enough to
use.
