   Um, I can't remember the exact syntax for the init call off hand, but
the reason that won't work is that you can't do double buffering at the
resolution.

The video memory in the PS is 1024x512, meaning the max resolution you
could double buffer would be 512x256...then again, thats not even a
valid resolution, plus you would have no room for any textures or fonts
