sprites in bank 1 over graphics in bank 2
high,
i was playing around as usual, (i'am an addict when it comes to c64 stuff) and i find out when i set $dd00
at bank 1 at cycle 1 or later and you change $dd00 again a few cycles later you can place sprites over graphics in a diffirent bank...
how is this possible?
in my case i used the anti badline trick (open sideborders, 7 sprites and graphics). and it works just nice...
greetings mcd.

The sprite data is fetched in the side border at 16 of the cycles there. Each sprite fetches 3 bytes into internal 24 bit shift-registers. So, regardless of vic bank settings later on on the current raster line, these shift-registers will still emit the bits that was fetched.
Check out the VIC-article! :D |

Cool! I hadn't thought of this before. Wonder what it could be used for. :-) |

Well, if you had some screen graphics effect that uses all the bank data, but you wanted sprites as well then this would be useful. :)
