Well, I have a FAST infinite map scrolling routine (50fps on my amiga). Unfortunatly it is too complex for even me to understand propperly, so it's really no use any anyone I'm afraid. (Not even me ;(
I can send it to you anyway though, but you have been warned. ;)
By the way, apparently TOME is no good I'm afriad.
I guess you'll just have to reduce the map a little?

Turbo is free, off the Amos factory homepage.
