Its looking great :D I notice the screen take a while to refresh, and it like does a scanline as it renders the next screen.  Is this intentional?  Since i think it can be removed with clever use of updating buffers.

Very cool :) Sounds a lot better but ya, I agree with Z. It lags horribly when you get moving to much.

I can't seem to hear the music lagging, but that might have to do with the scanline problem as well, because the DispGraphrr is in the interrupt now to increase quality. The scanline thing is because before each row is drawn, the interrupt is turned off, then turned on once the row is finished. I'll have to see about getting around that.

couldnt you use a var that is set before scrolling and reset afterwards so that the interrupt skips over the dispgraphrr command when it's set? it wouldnt speed things up, but it might even it out at least

i love the sound, by the way!

Have you tested to see how well the greyscale looks without using interupts?  That might be a pain free method of removing the scanlines.  Or you could just disable them before the entire screen and then re enable them only after everything has been drawn maybe?

That could work if there was one screen update per interrupt, but there is probably a counter. So during the time that the interrupts are disabled, it will miss some counts.

Looks much better, although it still isnt updating all at once is it?  Still, great improvement fro  my view :)

Seems good but I still notice flickering during scrolling. That said, pretty much every scrolling grayscale engine I saw before flickers during scrolling x.x. It seems kinda inevitable on the 83+/84+ LCD :(

The flickering is probably a by-product of the horrible LCD, but while standing still the grey is almost perfect.

@Builderboy: It still doesn't update all at once, instead it updates every two rows. It's much less noticeable, on-calc or emulated, and once I fix the music lag, then I think I can call this pretty much done.

Sometimes it looks much better on-calc too. Wabbitemu can give us a good idea of how good gs will look like on-calc but it is not 100% perfect. Good luck on fixing the music lag :)

Still working on the music lag, but I did manage to have it draw a black tile whenever part of the map is out of bounds.
