Tycoon Tex is cheating really, the smooth scrolling stuff is split off from the main play area so the horizontal scroll reg doesn't change on the part of the screen where Tex himself is so no need to counter for it.

Not quite. In Tycoon Tex, the main character moves by 8 pixels at a time. Sure, the background above and below him are soft scrolling, but he is not.

What Rachy said. If you want to see this in action, I used the exact same thing in Csabo''s 1K Racer, which has full source released.

Quite easy: it "moves" to the opposite direction with pixel animation. The only thing what should be taken care of is the lowres pixel size, so the hardware scroll amount must be always even.

Anyone know how in games like Kikstart, the motorcycle stays stationary are does not scroll with the background when using the TED's smooth scrolling registers. It's like it is a sprite on the c64 version. Please explain if you know.
Thank you
