D017 stretch
I have a little while trying out som d017-stretching-code-magic-stuff. It seems impossible to stretch sprite 00 when it is alone a raster row.
Can anyone confirm it is possible or tell med where I am going wrong? I just cant get the timings right and I've tried all combinations (I think?).
I've put 1 -> d017 on all cycles after dec $d016 and then 0 on all cycles after that but for me it seems impossible...
Any help at all would be greatly appriciated!
lda #1
ldy #8
- dec $d016 ; 6 Removes the border
cmp #$c9
sta $d017 ; Has been moved around
cmp #$c9
bit $ea
sty $d017 ; Has been moved around
cmp #$c9
cmp #$c9
cmp #$c9

sty $d016 ; Makes sure the border is removable

Sorry for my stupid question, of course it works to stretch a single sprite with d017 while removing the border (even S#00). You just have to stop being stupid and do it the right way :-( |

According to you everything is easy, just some lda and sta's in the right place and the sky is the limit... |

For some reason when doing an 8-sprite open border routine you have to use DEC $d016 + INC $d016.
This has something to do with sprite 0 DMA eating too many cycles from the CPU, so the $d016 writes don't happen at the right time, occupying the CPU with DEC/INC solves that.
I found this out the hard way, back when I still actively coded demos. The explanation might be a bit off, but I'm sure there's VIC-II guru's out here who can do a better job than I do.
But like others have mentioned, when you don't need all 8 sprites, avoid sprite 0. |

Explanation is easy: DEC $D016 has 2 write cycles at the end of it's execution, while STA $D016 has only one. The 6510 cannot be stopped on write cycles, so with the right timing you can skip 2 of the 3 bus allocate cycles of the sprite #0 DMA which gets you right to the exact cycle where $D016 has to be changed to open the side border. |

Thanks Graham,
That explains the sprite 0 nastiness a lot better than I did :) |
