One major point of interest here:
SCREEN 0 has no alpha channel natively to any of the colors in it. The whole screen is FULL ALPHA BLACK (_RGBA(255, 0, 0, 0) for reference), so you can't print below that screen. Well, you can, but then you just immediately cover it up with black...
Think of it as painting a picture on your wall, and then painting the wall in black paint. You just completely cover and conceal the picture you painted.
You've got to set your overpaint to be a transparent clear coat. Paint your picture, then clear coat over it to preserve it.
NOTE in the above, I used _PALETTECOLOR to change BLACK to TRANSPARENT BLACK. Now you can lay the software screen over the hardware screen, and have no real issues.
