I think I saw such a scroll in some demo, but I cant remember it now.
It looks really impressive when text appears on one side of the screen and disappears into the other...
That is a whole different kettle of ULAs! It’s all to do with timing tricks, and will differ between all the machine variants, therefore also needs a model check routine too to adjust timings correctly. It does look nice though!

If you are looking for a generic routine to scroll messages outside screen then there's Rotatrix.

Proportional text looks a lot better. (Font is an old 42CPL one since I already had the sizes for the letters)

Yes, that's what I meant, it looks really great!
