nope, Akin didn't list that as a feature, I'm quite sure ;) It did list big

In both modes, bit 4 of the pixel determines wether the pixel must be shown

Some reasons:

2) Only one color per pixel line
3) max 8 sprites (4 on MSX1, if I recall correctly) per horizontal line

I use a 3 slice split screen, the middle being in graphic mode 7 (256 x 212
x 256 colors). I also use real hardcoded mode 2 overlapped sprites (3
different colors per line).
