Ok, I've just started to "mess" with my playstation. Having digested all of
the oh-so-useful information in the manuals I'm slightly confused about the
TIM / frame-buffer relationship. 

The windows TIM manager allows you to align the TIMs up in memory etc. and
tells you all the useful byte offsets etc. but are these actually inherent
properties of the TIM itself ? In other words when I DLOAD the data down to
the PS are the TIMs automatically loaded / aligned within the frame buffer
or do I have to use LoadImage (or equiv) to actually shift the data there
myself ?
