Yabbas,
Its just a set of functions using the faster YUV display format (full grey resolution, lower color information: jpeg basically).
It has additional bonus of being able to run at any arbitary fullscreen resolution (within reason)
I decided this morning that I need to get the code out there and see what moulding is required to advance it further.
Its not feature filled and will likely have some massive omissions and clangers, but it does what it says on the tin and liqbase modules all show it in action.
It speaks for itself as a demo.
I could continue adding more and more modules to it now I have the basic code in place (as I have been doing) but don't have time to perfect each area and this is stuff which others may be able to find a better use for.
As for emulation type stuff, as long as the assets can be loaded as YUV I don't see why it couldn't be used and it certainly does give a visual boost at higher resolutions.
If you have the binary liqbase, go into options and there is an area called Blit Image Test, this has a kinetic scroller built up from actual fullcolor bitmaps.
Its lacking image loading code at the moment because i have been producing my assets directly from sketches or rectangles, but should be simple to include when required.
