Re[4]: [gbadev] GB Advance

Hi Lao,

1.
Mode 7 is the fancy full screen rotation and scaling mode, found on
all those cool Super Nintendo (SNES) games.. ie. Pilot Wings, Mario
Kart, F-Zero.. etc.
With clever code you can do some rather snazzy effects with it.. So,
expect some truly awesome games appearing on GBA utilising more of the
same..
2.
Bound to be somewhere...
