Hi Per,
I'm afraid I can't help with the sprites issue as I have never really
tried using the new mode sprites with Easyptr.
There was correspondence here about it some time ago
Hi all EasyPtr enthusiasts.
Could you please confirm that MAWITEM wont process a high definition (mode
16 or 64)sprites/icons: Returns err_bp. I found a way around, though (after
much hassle!) Define a sprite chain, with the first sprite a mode 0 one, eg:
sprite
Guys,
Mind if we change the Subject on this one, for example to what I did
here? I try to group topics and this would help.
Thanks,

Yes it can... Marcel sent me some code last year and works great... will be on its way
Anyone have any experience of saving and restoring screen areas with
Easyptr under GD2? Can it be made to work reliably or not?
