Howto flickerfree and moving rasterbar ?
<Post edited by moderator on 20/10-2009 01:24>
Making a perfect stable, flickerfree and moving rasterbar is harder than I thought.
Why and which changes are needed to the code below to fulfill my dream about the flickerfree rasterbar?
The code is based on http://www.ffd2.com/fridge/vic/stableraster.txt.
Acme code ready to compile:

if you want to move your *whole* color-bar/table up and down, then you could make your color-table bigger and just increase/decrease the pointer/start-positon where you're reading your colors from (-> lda coloursr,x)...
that way you don't have to alter the whole table and save some time... however works only if you don't want to have different color-bars jumping around... |

The stable raster code that you started with (from the fridge) is timed for the hardware IRQ vector at $fffe, and you've changed the code to use the kernal IRQ vector at $0314. This fucks up the timing beyond repair. As others here not, you also can't move rastercode with $d012, as that also changes the timing. |

I agree with the guys above. Additionally moving $d012 is not that bad idea. But instead of self modifying code, I advice you to use zero page addresses holding raster positions.
Instead of
ldy #$34
sty $d012
...
...
...
ldy #$35
sty $d012
use
lda #$34
sta $a0 ; any available zeropage address is ok
ldy $a0
sty $d012
...
...
...
ldy $a0
iny
sty $d012
you should take care of cycle changes, adding removing some NOPs and BITs should be enough. After that to move the raster position just increase/decrease zeropage address ($a0 in this case) at the end of the frame. |

you can switch off the screen (aka no badlines), then use stable raster and change $d012 but you probably dont want it this way.

Thanks for quick response !
Anyone that could rework the code and be the first to publish a fully stable and flicker free moving rasterbar routine ?

No. We also won't do your homework, walk your dog, or call your grandma on her birthday.

MagerValp, the time has come for someone to finally
publish a stable, flickerfree moving rasterbar routine.
The demand for one is out there ;-)
This is what´s missing on the Internet and on the CSDB forum.

8bitforever - and you can be the one to do it! Do some studying and trial and error and be the first!

Do a raster at line $xx, and then do this:
ldx #4 ;adjust this to remove flicker
.dex
bne .
ldx #0
..lda color,x
sta $d020
sta $d021
ldy timer,x
.dey
bne .
inx
bne ..
have it running in a monitor, and adjust the timer table to remove flicker.

Wasn't there a routine in one of the C= Hacking issues, or do I remember wrong? |
