Screen with no Badlines
Hello there!
I know it's possible to have a screenmode with no bad lines at all, graphics are not displayable, but sprites are visible in this one. Once I've coded it but now I totally forgot how it was done.. some d011 fiddling at the start of the bottom border.
Can anyone tell me how to achive this ? Whats the theory ? |

Actually you can do this trick even without opening the upper/lower borders...

how? you have to avoid the VIC starting drawing the border, else the whole screen will flush!

yeah. maybe barfly meant just a full-screen fld to scroll out all badlines =) but that would mean d011 writes at least every 6 lines. |

I hope I am not spoiling Barfly's fun, but sharing knowledge rules ;)
Badlines can just occur if "Display Enable" was set in line $30 for at least one cycle. So, make sure that it is cleared during line $30, and the it is set before $33, so that the border-flip-flops will behave like having a "normal" screen.

Example code:
SEI
loop3:
LDA #$2F
loop1:
CMP $D012
BNE loop1
BIT $D011
BMI loop1
LDA #$0B
STA $D011
LDA #$31
loop2:
CMP $D012
BNE loop2
LDA #$1B
STA $D011
BNE loop3

hmmm..... okay, this should work too :) but basically the problem is the same. Whether you enable the screen before line $33 or open the border around $fa, it does not matter...
timing-wise they are both equally simple [or hard if you want a flexible irq over it], plus you get a free open upper+lower border :) |

Of course, they are pretty similar. It was just the answer to the question "how?" :) |
