awesome graphics!

That is the graphics that I meant!
When in VDP discussion I say it in words, it gets technical. Or it gets excitement wording "it can do epic gfx"

Could it get software sprites without boxes?
Turning the blue pixels to color 0, then copy the sprite and if colornibble = 0, take a colornibble of the background.
Then the software sprites are shine-thru.

i think they are simply charaters not bitmap sprites.
to do what you want we need a complete set of charaters FOR EACH sprite object displayed, because background change based on x,y position. Not doable pratically without going back to sw sprites "a la spectrum way". instead of using nametable and charaters you manipulate screen data as a bitmap mode. But you loose speed. A lot. You go at 1/16 of actual speed...

however maybe is feasible to choose the correct charater based on the background pattern you need to conver. To be clear:
you have two sets for big enemies: one with background blue, the other with background green. During plotting are you overwriting a charater that is mainly green? then use the 'variant' with background green. otherwise the other(s).

The disadvantage is clear: you need a lot of similar char data differing only from background colors.
