Still, i'm perplexed by your claim about "problems rises when your backgrounds are not sized 32×32" ... 32x32 what ? tiles i guess, since most BG will be way over 32x32 pixels, right? In the case of a BG over 32x32 tiles (that is, 256x256 pixels, right?) we could reprogram tiles offscreen so that the player thinks it faces e.g. a 512x32 tiles sidescrolled level, while the actual screen is only a bit larger than the display. Still, we will have trouble as the DS screen is just 256 pixels large (not ~240 like the GBA ^_^), but hopefully enough, the "mode 0" and "mode 2" features BGs up to 512x512 pixels (512x256) being enough imho. Or did i compeltely miss what you thought as "rising problems" ? a nice shot.

This would be discussed on the next lesson.<br />I didn't include any more info about it to not get into details and go offtopic :P What I meant is the map structure in memory, 32×32x4 (64×64 tiles/512×512 pixels) instead of a normal 64×64 map.
