I’ve never seen backbuffer called shadow copy.

And I have never heard it called “backbuffer”, so we are even.

I never said anything about framebuffers. The 256x64 pixel display in 16 brightness levels probably has something comparable inside. I just tell it that i want to update a rectangle, and send it some data for that.
