This opcode displays text at any position on the screen. The X and Y positions of the text are based on a 640 × 448 resolution, which comes from the resolution of the PS2 version of the games. On different resolutions, these positions are scaled accordingly. You should use opcode 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. Note that the last text is wrapped due to the default wrap x of 182.0.
