In theory, more CRTC registers could be changed, for example, one could change the scanning region from 320x200 to 256x256. The Vidi software doesn't include any such features.
Note: Internally, the CRTC stores the scanline data in SRAM in the same "interleaved" format as it is also used in the CPC's VRAM(ie. line 0,8,16,24,etc.). However, this effect is "undone" when the CRTC reads the stored scanlines (so the CPU receives data without interleave. oe. line 0,1,3,4,etc.).

Software was available on cassette, disc, and (as an upgrade option) on ROM. The latter one requires an external ROM BOX to be of any use (the Vidi board doesn't include a ROM socket).
