Were these formats not all the same though ? You have hires interlace 4 bitplanes with a sliced palette (reloading 15 new colours with the copper each frame) and also sliced ham modes with lowres interlaced but a sliced ham palette (less fringing) ?

I was coding on a intro advert for exotica back in 1998. I should really finish it. It has a few images in "dynamic hires) (or pchg) format at the top 2 3rds of the screen , and a lowres scroller (2 pixel), in the bottom. I'm sure I could do a 1 pixel, with some optimisation. I was going to do something with the 4 sprites available too..

The pics did look pretty good though..

It may not be possible with an OS friendly app to display dynamic hires. Or at least, not using an amigaos screen with custom copperlist anyway.
