Maybe a greater advance in the new MSX graphics scheme would be RAM-mapped
VRAM (it is VRAM being directly accesible by the CPU). In this way, all
VRAM access by the CPU would be MUCH faster: just put the value you want
where you want, instead of OUTing the address and then the value. Also,
the new VDP should have its own address space mapped to this VRAM, so both
the CPU and the VDP can access this memory, thus keeping
backwards compatibility with older generations, and making the new MSX
video structure much faster.
Just a suggestion.
