F-16 uses Mode 2 ( Graphics II ) which uses 1-bit patterns opposed to the 4-bit patterns of Mode 4. This greatly reduces the bandwidth required to update the screen ( from 24576 bytes to 6144 bytes for the entire 256x192 screen ).

Pretty cool Barone. To risk asking the bleedin' obvious, what is it?
From his Japanese website:
"It is a 16 step 4ch rhythm machine using Mega Drive's PCM.
Number of patterns 4. Total 64 steps."
By the way, the ROM is available:

I might just check this out. I wondered if it was for making game soundtracks, like a programmer's tool or something.
No, it's just a rhythm machine.
It's impressive and absolutely amazing being on Gen/MD,
but that's just a rhythm machine based on KORG MR-16.
