|  Re: FLI
Well, I keep waiting for the real gurus to come out of the woodwork and give some real answers, but they are not here yet. Maybe they are waiting for someone to shoot their mouth off and give incorrect info, then they can jump in  So anyway, as fuzzy as my understanding is, here it goes.
I looked up To be ashamed again, and I was wrong, it's actually hires bitmap. So this means two things: I can't think of any released examples of FLI in character mode (although it's certainly possible, I've have a DFLI effect). Second, that effect is a single line FLI, and at least one set of the colors are "correct" (the second color isn't, you can see it in the little scroller, or if you enter F 6000 7000 F0 in YAPE monitor).
The color-fetching (aka DMA) happens in two raster lines, the two raster lines exactly before a new character line. So, at the start of a new character line, the colors and chars are already fetched. For the next character line, it's fetched in the last two raster lines.
