    That's right, _it will_. I forgot about that for some reason, sorry.

    Setting the display mode to 'Monochrome' affects Double-High-Res
displays on the ROM 00, 01 and 3, through both RGB and composite
output. DHR mode is the only case where it affects the RGB display.

    It won't show up in greyscales on an RGB monitor though, it'll be in
1-bit black and white (true 560x192 resolution) from what I recall.
