<ps_yaroze@interactive.sony.com> did quoth at me:

>(1) Detect (not set) what the current mode is, using GetVideoMode

It always returns NTSC the first time around.

>(2) Hence set ScreenWidth, ScreenHeight (these depend only
>on desired resolution and video mode)
>(3) For all game timing that relies on hsyncs/scan lines,

I prefer being able to check out NTSC/PAL just by using the joypad or
whatever. See my wibbly demo (~IBEYOND) .
