I've been testing out drawing my own BGs using the GsSortSprite to
display the cell depending on the number in an array, but I can't seem
to get it to draw more than 4 GsSPRITES.

I have one GsSPRITE initialised to hold the large graphic with all the
cells in (a 256x256 graphic, if I remember correctly), and then I loop
through reading values from an array, and setting the GsSPRITE's .u
and .v values to 'select' the correct cell, then change the .x and .y
values so it draws it in the correct place on the screen, then sort it
using GsSortSprite.

However, the most I can get it to draw is a 2x2 square of cells. Can
anyone suggest why this is? Surely the PlayStation can cope with
sorting more than 4 sprites at once?

Cheers,
Rikki
