My Master boots into 135. Changing to 7 first doesn't seem to make any  
difference. I rewrote line 70 to actually use mode 7 instead of 135,  
and that didn't make any difference either.

The grey background fills the screen - ie. it goes all the way into  
the overscan.

It's an LCD via the colour-enabled composite port, but as you can see,  
hooking it up to my DV bridge doesn't seem to make any difference,  
other than the mysterious shift to the left.

No other software I've run so far has had any similar video problems.

I should point out that other than the rather interesting greyness,  
TreeCopy does actually work perfectly.

Same result.
