* If the colour attributes of the Spectrum were not simulated then the attribute data would not need to be stored for the CPC.
=====Mode 1 and screen dimensions=====
Amstrad's mode 1 is the closest mode which compares with the Spectrum's graphical abilities.
This (the larger border) led to the false argument that the CPC's resolution was inferior to the Spectrum one although the amount of pixels on the screen is EXACTLY the same.
=====Screen dimensions=====
There are advantages to reprogramming the screen dimension to match the Spectrum's.
