I'm not 100% sure about this but I suspect is has more to do with the way your TV is set up rather than anything your PSX is doing. Most TVs just aren't set up so the display is *exactly* centred - I know mine wasn't; I had to take off the back and twiddle with a pre-set resistor while the TV was on! (not really recommended) Using different screen modes may also have an effect. > 2) How can I implement a routine to shift the screen whith the NetYaroze > Libraries ? Theres an external variable in the library called GsDISPENV which is of type DISPENV (see page 11 of green manual). You can move the display around by altering the values of GsDISPENV.screen.x and GsDISPENV.screen.y > > Thanx > > Harald Ploch. Cheers, -Chris
