Confused. I thought PutDispEnv/PutDrawEnv with 320 and 256 for the
screen dimensions and say 0 and 24 for the offsets would set 256-line
PAL  mode. Hmmmm. I shall confer with someone knowledgeable.

You aren't supposed to have game action within 8-16 pixels of the
border of the play area, incidentally, as on some TVs it might not be
visible. Games like Tekken (which don't care!) have a feature to
adjust the screen position.
