SPEED, Well the speed can be very fast i DBv1 it all depends on your Gphx card. I downgraded my graphics card s I could obtain the speed. an ATI PCI 16MB card from an intel something rather that wa APG... Old cards handle 2D better it seems.
As for DBPro by all means it should work the syntax is 100% correct "you might haveto remove the : from the end of the jump labels. Cause DBPro dosnt like those and in old languages it was like required to use the : on the end.
Old habbits die hard. DBv1 dosnt mind them though. Also DBP might not run it anyway cause its still new ad has a few more fixes to go before its completely bugfree, But that goes with the territory it just dosnt work the same as DBV yet mine with the update fixes still wont grab 2d images sometimes and shrinks sprites automatically without me telling it too.
Unlike most though im not complaining cause i know it will be fixed adventually patience I have patience.
