There are a few hurdles in implementing PC1512 mode: It’s 64KB per frame instead of 16KB, so you’d need quadruple the CPU time and data to make videos. Secondly, the Amstrad 640x200x16 mode is arranged by bitplanes, so according to the information at http://www.retroisle.com/amstrad/pcs/Technical/Hardware/PC1512_Video.php it would be very slow to update large portions of the screen. I’d also have to write a compiler specifically for that mode.

The Tandy TL/RL/SL series also has a 640x200x16 mode, but I believe it’s arranged in chunky fashion which would make it easier to support. But I have no such plans at the moment. All source is freely available, if anyone else wants to give it a shot…
