Hi, all, i noticed the game SILVIANA does some strange vdp commands, with NEGATIVE values in the nx,ny registers.
Is this a bug on openMSX or a particular way to show some parameter of the commands?

VDPCmd HMMM-IMP (15,95)-&gt47,95),0 [-16,-16]
VDPCmd HMMM-IMP (223,79)-&gt255,79),0 [-16,-16]
VDPCmd HMMM-IMP (127,79)-&gt159,79),0 [-48,-16]
VDPCmd HMMM-IMP (15,79)-&gt47,79),0 [-16,-16]
VDPCmd HMMM-IMP (79,63)-&gt111,63),0 [-48,-16]
VDPCmd HMMM-IMP (223,47)-&gt255,47),0 [-16,-16]

The nx/ny registers are reported as negative when the dix/dix bits (bits 2 and 3 in register R#45) are set. Meaning the copy direction is from right to left (or bottom to top) instead of from left to right (or top to bottom).
