03F0 when using this opcode to prevent unintended side effects like permanent display or game crashes. Vice City supports up to 47 text before becoming unstable and each text must be less than 100 characters long. Positions 0.0 and lower will display only the shadow of the text. The following images show text displayed in Vice City at positions (0.0, 0.0), (50.0, 50.0), (100.0, 100.0), and (200.0, 200.0), from top left to bottom right.
