Much like SGB vs SGB2, the GBP runs at a slightly different clock speed causing occasional frame stutter. Selection of handhelds entirely arbitrary – other than the N-Gage, which I very intentionally ignored because it was stupid. No, the GBA screen is a rectangle. More complex effects such as fuzz are possible by using other equations for the position, scaling, and rotation of each line.
