Seiken Densetsu 3's main menu, rendered in Mode 5
Mode 5 is one of the hi-res background modes, meaning the horizontal resolution is 512 dots. When interlacing is enabled, the vertical resolution is also doubled. [4] Many JRPGs use Mode 5.[3] The higher resolution helps Japanese text be more legible.
It is the second least frequently used background mode. [2] PVSnesLib currently does not support Mode 5. [1] Color Math should not be used in Mode 5.[5][7]
Background tiles may be 8 by 8 pixels or 16 by 16 pixels in Mode 5.
RPM Racing uses Mode 5 for gameplay.[6]
Offset Change Mode and Direct Color are unsupported.
Mosaic and windowing are supported.
