Right-most sideborder sprite bug
If you remove the sideborder and place any sprite at the very right most place in the border you will see about 8 pixels wide garbage on the line before the actual sprite (all 21 sprite lines are accounted for below this point). This is also some kind of sprite data and share the colors from the sprite that is about to be shown. VICE emulates it somewhat correct. This means that the sprite is actually 22 lines high?!
How and why does this occur and from where are the pixels fetched when the bug is outputed (or is it a bus-lock of some kind)? |

The garbage is always the same $00 $FF $00 pattern one line above the actual sprite data. The $00's are just what is left in the sprite data shift register, and the $FF is propably a result of the shift register receiving tristate mode while wanting to receive non existant data. Just an assumption though. |

with my sideborder dysp I cheated and set the sprite colour to the background colour for the first row :)
edit: Graham, were early VIC-IIs tri-state? I read somewhere that 6581's arent.......

@graham: makes some kind of sence at least. ;)
@style: I have an old VIC-II chip with the old colors and cheramic casing etc.. The bug is visible there too. |

Hmm, the only way to get rid of that ug is indeed setting the corresponding colour register to background. |

You can also use X-position, or just move the sprite 1 pixel up... Or cover the bug with another sprite... or... or... or... |

or pronounce a BUG as a FEATURE like some silly east-european visual-basic-coder did... |

Graham: true. I should do some nifty sideborder code again, seems too much chunkyness and drive shit have paid their toll on me. :D |

graham: moving the sprite 1 pixel up just moves the corrupt gfx 1 pixel up :D
