* RAM:
** 1 MB VRAM (later models used SGRAM) for framebuffer
** 2 KB texture cache (132 MB/s memory bus bandwidth, 32-bit wide)
** 64 bytes FIFO buffer
* Features:
** Adjustable framebuffer (1024×512)
** Emulation of simultaneous backgrounds (to simulate parallax scrolling)
** Mask bit
** Texture window
** Dithering
** Clipping
** Alpha blending (4 per-texel alpha blending modes)
** Fog
** Framebuffer effects
** Transparency effects
** Render to texture
** Offscreen rendering
** Multipass rendering
** Flat or Gouraud shading and texture mapping
** No line restriction
** Colored light sourcing
* Resolutions:
** Progressive: 256×224 to 640×240 pixels
** Interlaced: 256×448 to 640×480 pixels
* Colors:
** Maximum color depth of 16,777,216 colors (24-bit true color)
** 57,344 (256×224) to 153,600 (640×240) colors on screen
** Unlimited color lookup tables (CLUTs)
** 32 levels of transparency
** All calculations are performed to 24 bit accuracy
* Texture mapping color mode:
** Mode 4: 4-bit CLUT (16 colors)
** Mode 8: 8-bit CLUT (256 colors)
** Mode 15: 15-bit direct (32,768 colors)
** Mode 24: 24-bit (16,777,216 colors)
* Sprite engine:
** 1024×512 framebuffer, 8×8 and 16×16 sprite sizes, bitmap objects
** Up to 4,000 sprites on screen (at 8×8 sprite size), scaling and rotation
