ransom thanks for the video

Yeah about the framerate, I'm going to try to do something, but I suspect that the scrolling uses the blitter and I'm not going to adapt it to "amiga" scrolling (I wonder how hard it would be, specially in 2 player mode!)

The current AGA version has code which runs in fast memory. I didn't test on real hardware but maybe it improved the speed, and maybe framerate can be upped? but if it depends on the blitter, I'm not sure it will do any good (specially because going AGA means that we'll go from 6 EHB bitplanes to 7 or 8 AGA bitplanes, but we can also say "screw AGA" and use the extra power for better framerate. We'll see)
