    Isn't the fastest way having the sprites pre-rotated in memory before shoving them on screen as quick as possible?

    Uses loads of memory but there shouldn't be much speed difference vertically or horizontally this way?

  • Whats wrong with my spectrum 48 kWhen i startup, instead of copyright messsage i get gray screen with black square in middle.

    But if it is the RAM then it must be the range 16384 to 32768 (?) for it doesn't start and gives wrong values on screen. If it were higher adresses then the Spectrum would start, but will not use all memory due to the memory test.
