hmm interesting feedback from all thanks. It does seem crazy to think you can't load in a title screen and show it reliably you have to split it into chunks! Also the loader for that would have to be special unless you stored your title page in several files.
Only problem with splitting images is this, if you move it round the screen and draw at non integer values (for smoothness based on delta timing) the joins will antialias and you'll end up with horrible lines in the image where the textures join (just theorising here)...
