I had no idea there were 3 other LCD's hidden nor another level with the textLCD. I can't imagine how your brain managed to figure that out. Let me see if that's enough info for me to get started with my own madness if not I'll definitely be back to ask more xD.
Very much thanks for the info though.

With great effort and pain. Ill do my best to explain it here.
Each frame/image is on its own LCD somewhere hidden in the ship. These LCDs are then copied onto another hidden LCD using AutoLCD's "textLCD" command which is then copied AGAIN to the final TV lcd using the "textLCD" command with no scroll applied which looks like this: "TextLCD {TVMimic[LCD]!NOSCROLL}"
Then the buttons use the scroll command to scroll the length of one image. I figured this out using a PNG of a red border/box so i could line up to the exact dimensions of the LCD with guess and check and Whips image converter. From there I just take the vertical resolution value used in Whips image converter and use that as the scroll distance.
If you want more info feel free to add me on steam and I'll glady explain more in depth sometime :)

Ok what sort of madness did you do to get the TV to work? I can see you used AutoLCD with Manual Scroll, but did you really count every Monospace line to make it work or is it simpler than that?
Basically I'm trying a similar thing but making a gif with 3 frames and am stuck on how to do it.
