Just set it to 256 if you want 256 lines.  Simple as that.

There seems to be a bug in the libs when setting 256 lines for PAL modes.
The GPU will actually draw to all 256 lines, but only the first 240 lines get
displayed.  Setting GsDISPENV.screen.h to 256 after initializing the screen
sorts this out without any known side effects.  Experiment with the
GsDISPENV.screen stuff as this allows you to centre the screen and create
custom modes.  I had fun playing with this for at least 10 mins. :)
