Does not work! I have downloaded a demo that had the source with it. When I ran it on my PAL system it went into NTSC mode so I decided to change the SetVideoMode command to MODE_PAL but I found that the command was not being used! The best bet if you are going to release your demo/game to the Yaroze public without the source code then include an option within the demo to change modes. (Hmmm, I have not tried this but is it possible to change modes mid demo?) JohnT
