26 clocks in a border, anything useful?
If you had 26 clocks in the border, could anything useful be done with the extra clocks? If you need to do a XXXX,X this could be dropped to XX,X to save an extra clock. |

in 26 you can make rasterbars, is that usefule for you ?
btw:
sta xxxx,x = 5 sta xx,x = 4
lda xxxx,x = 4/5 lda xx,x = 4 |

When would this ever be relevant? |

you could perhaps put an extra clock in the border! |

C128, you can enable 2Mhz mode in the border. So when you subtract the clocks to get in and out of 2Mhz mode you get 26 clocks to do stuff. Or if you drop the 38 col you would get 30 clocks. |

you might be able to cram a sample player in there.... the question is a bit generic though, hard to give an answer without knowing what else you are planning to do :) |

Make some double, triple sine table lookups for your excellent dynamic raster based effect... whichever it is. |

I would say, if you have 27 clocks in the border, things would get truly interesting.. |

Let the cpu rest. Setting bits on and off all the time, it is so hard. |

Quoting ChristopherJamEight sprites under/over FLI
ZMhz mode switches off the VIC bus access, so it will show sprites but the sprite data will be whatever the CPU was loading/storing.
Thinking about it, on a non bad line, you would be able to pull into 2mhz on the first clock of the border which would give you an extra 10 clocks to give you 36 clocks on non bad lines, or 40 clocks in 38 col mode. |

Damn. I should have expected that really. |
