I created something good that should have existed for a very long time. Here I just want to show what features the MSX2 has.

Smal Video about features.

Also, several sample shots thats i got when developing driver:

The code in the picture is in no way associated with the described program.

Here too. :)

Best shot for understanding capabilityes.

That is quite impressive. A full resolution text-mode? Not using interlace?

Amazing! I could double the displayed files in SofaRun with it. Looking forward for the technical details !

What do you mean by "the color table is fully redefinable"? Can it have different colors per cell, like on CGA?

Whooo! That's one reason I love MSX.
Even after such a long time, there is still so much to discover! AMAZING!

The demo seems to run in openMSX, so nothing undocumented here (at least unemulated), but a new clever way of using the VDP? Can’t wait to have details

Yep, but nothing nonstandart features used here, real machine will show it without any troubles.

Color table for this mode have twice more size, I mean, fully redefinable - have capability to light any sign-place on the screen like standart screen text mode 80. All color features also standart text mode 80. No diffirent colors, just palettes and freq's of blink.
