From the first few line I guessed that it's nota Llamasoft meet-up in Rome (which would sound as strange as a bald sheep in a tan of Guinness) but..... flashes apart, .... well

I don't know anything about GBA's Video Memory architecture, but I'd not expect any dedicated memory areas for sprites/textures to be there: maybe you just have to allocate that by your own and then BitBlt to the VideoRAM whenever you need it.

But I'm sure some llamasofties (or many many internet ...

I tried to recode Richard Garriot (Origin)'s old 1979 classic Akalabeth (BASIC code easily online-retrievable) to support 3D glasses with MCGA 320x200x256 resolution several years ago... but then I might have given up.

Of course I was joking by telling I *needed* the firmware upgrade to post fluffy photos.

first Linux installation

Ehm... perhaps it's not the best place to post this question in....

I'm about to do my first Linux installation and currently I have MandrakeLinux 10.0 Official DVD and SuSE 9.0 Professional CDs, but I'm sure I can retrieve others, if necessary.
