Three pixel period pattern on upper/lower border
Any idea, how to create a hires pattern like this:
110110110110110110110110110110110110...
on the upper/lower border over the full width. Every trick allowed.
Btw: $3fff trick does not work, because then the pattern has a period of eight instead of three. Sprites cover only a width of 192 pixels!
Thank you Monte!

You are now asking to think about a solution you have already chosen: a pattern in the border.
There might be another solution for your problem.
What exactly is the reason you want this pattern in the first place?

The pattern mentioned above is part of a two color hires bitmap i want to extend into the upper and lower border.
I was experimenting with sprites over ghostbyte pattern and
didn't find a way to create the pixel combination 1101101100..., because of the three pixel period. I thought, maybe someone comes to another result and finds away to create this pixel combination.
Important is, that the pattern should not be made of double, but single pixels.

@Monte Carlos: I hate to use that trick but I think it's your last chance.
"It's impossible to do something like that. Even Crossbow cannot do it."

Tuffi: The 65816 (SCPU) can do this as well. And a C128, too, IIRC. |

@Oswald: consider $3fff at ZP. What is your solution for this? Will you be able to change $3fff (at ZP) each cycle? I don't think so. So, what kind of sprite + $3fff combination you planned? |

yeah, I was hoping no1 will notice I have made a mistake by that statement. I was still sleepy, so no idea how I thought it would work :D |

I think you should forget about this, and modify the picture instead :) |

it wont. there are both 0->1 and 1->0 bit transitions so you need a MC sprite to cover the ghost byte pattern correctly and for this kind of transition pattern(0->1 between 1->0 and 1->1 & 1->0 between 0>1 and 1->1) MC sprites are out of question:
11011011->
01101101->
10110110->
11011011->
...
not even Crossbow will do it unless he can display something else than the ghost byte and sprites in the vertical borders. |
