Fine scroll X question
by on (#24953)
Hi, I've read loopy's docs a hundred times, I've even read Disch's explanation of these docs (which helped a lot), but I still have a question about fine X-scroll.

Let's say that fine X-scroll register contains 2. Does it mean that first tile in each row will be shifted (scrolled) 2 pixels left (so only 6 pixels would be visible from the first tile on each row) or does it mean the first tile in each row will be shifted 2 pixels right (so the first 2 pixels on each line would be the last two pixels of the "previous" tile)?

This is what it does.
