NintendoAge http://nintendoage.com/forum/ -Sqooner where the "hires mode causes slowdown" myth comes from http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=184853 2018-11-20T14:57:09 -05.00 Aaendi 1
I think it comes from people making older hacks/homebrews on slow emulators and misinterpreting it as a hardware limitation. Same thing with the myth that 32x32 sprites inherently take 4x the CPU power as 16x16 sprites, or that updating an entire tile map to animate a boss is inherently faster than moving a couple 32x32 sprites together to make a larger sprite. ]]>
