So keep asking! > > Herbs OK, here's one: some time ago you posted a solution to removing the black border that you get when you set the screen mode to PAL (you only get 240 vertical lines, even if you specified your screen height as 256). You said you need to set the DISPENV.screen.h to 256. But why does it need to be defined as 'extern'? I.e. you said you need to do extern DISPENV GsDISPENV I don't make any of my other structures (e.g. GsSPRITE, GsIMAGE and GsOT_TAG) extern, so why does GsDISPENV need to be extern? Cheers Phil
