 # Bitmap Video
+
+Our first video modes to talk about are the bitmap video modes.
+
+It's not because they're the best and fastest, it's because they're the
+_simplest_. You can get going and practice with them really quickly. Usually
+after that you end up wanting to move on to the other video modes because they
+have better hardware support, so you can draw more complex things with the small
+number of cycles that the GBA allows.
+
+## The Three Bitmap Modes
+
+As I said in the Hardware Memory Map section, the Video RAM lives in the address
+space at `0x600_0000`. Depending on our video mode the display controller will
+consider this memory to be in one of a few totally different formats.
+
+### Mode 3
+
+
+
+### Mode 4
+
+### Mode 5
+
+## Using Mode 3
