I would like some help with my background scrolling.
Firts some information. We have map sizes the size of 256x256.
We are trying to make the screen 6 times such a map

map-1 map-3 map-5
map-0 map-2 map-4

so if I want to move from map-0 to area map-1 area map-2 or area map-3. I would need to slowly load those parts in. also when I want to move from those back to map-0.

Could you give me an example script how I could do that. I am using a rotating background (background nr.2) in mode 2. Thanks for your time.

I just wrote a long article response, and then realized that it would be easier to just give you this link: Large Map Scrolling by Jason. I wrote my own article on this years ago but never put it online, or maybe I did; but this should tell you everything you needed to know about it.
