Left/Right Border switching in middle of rasterline
The last days i experimented a little with bit 3 of $d016. I had the brainfart to broaden the border on the left and keep it normal on the right. Disappointingly, this seems to work only in every non badline. If i try to switch bit 3 of $d016 during a badline i either get both left and right borders equal or i turn off the border completely for the next rasterline. Does somebody have an explanation in terms of internal VIC timing? I also tried modifying the timing with sprites or HSP to be able to write to $d016 in the correct cycle. |

Cool. The idle byte seems to be shifted down by 1 line. Where does it get its color from?
Can't you hide it by making the right border broad instead? |

From the lo nibble of the opcode following the st? $d011 (?=a|x|y). |

I guess that's not very handy for a text scroller. |

Not even in arabic language, because a major bug would appear on the left side independent on scroll direction. |

Looks like you've done the impossible MonteCarlos! changed the color in the middle of the char second row at the very right ;-D)
I guess one could use bitmap mode without badlines to create 39 column wide scroll using VSP? |

Where do you see a split in the middle of a char?
Did you use VICE or real machine?
I'm not aware of that what you want to tell me at the moment. |

@MC: Haha, in your screenshot! Second row, the very last char. I am not sure what's going on there but it looks like you've split the atom ;-) |

That's a blue $ff character! The split is between char foreground and $d021 |

the latest shape demo uses sprites to achieve a 41 char wide screen for 40 column scroll. |
