Yes, I've put a 320x256 from an AFK65 file as Doug Webb suggests and
it's working! First impressions - interface not half as good as SF3000
but presumably this is because it came from a console.

You can see the difference in the graphics straight away but
tri-linear filtering seems to reduce it unplayably.

Wonder what Chris "SF3000" Bazley thinks?

well that's it working hopefully, now to find some instructions!
