wot's most ironic is that sprites in winuae go faster than wot i see in most
commercial games. Anyone seen the halflife menu system on below 250mhz
machine?

anyway my brother had been messing with directx a while back and on an ATi
rage IIc (about 3-4 yrs old) he got some really amazing framerates, without
even trying to optimise anything. I think if you get the directx sdk and
read the docs carefully you can get good looking stuff.

I haven't really used VB much but i would have though C would be faster for
this. VB is nowhere near as good as Blitz!
