Hi,

The discussion of file size limitations prompts me to ask about a
completely different limitation. That of the maximum screenmode size.

For the standard RPC this is limited to what will fit into a 2 MB VRAM. (I
assume also by IOMD, but dunno about that.)

However with a Viewfinder much larger screen modes became possible.

One of the main working differences I notice between running rpcemu and my
*Iyonix* (since I no longer have any real RPCs) is the availability of
large, 16 million colour, screen modes.

So the questions are:

Is it possible to either use VRAM > 2MB or impliment a 'vewfinder'
equivalent emulation for rpcemu, and thus let it have modes like those on
an Iyonix or later machine whilst allowing software to run as it would on a
RPC?

If so, can I request this, please, as something to be done at some point?
:-)

Cheers,

Jim
