Heh, just might as well respond to this, although it is 3 years later ;)
@Skate: this release was part of a tv noise meme on Pouet a few years ago.
It was in no way a size-coding competition.
Besides that, to enable the DTV advantages you have to poke some extra addresses.
You can't avoid suffering those extra bytes, from a size optimizing point of view.
The source code is included in the zip, for educational purposes.
Too bad only a handful of C64 coders explored the DTV.
It's a fun machine to code for. | User Comment Submitted by Mr. SID on 20 November 2010
This is still quite lame, can we have fullscreen all-border TV noise, please? | User Comment Submitted by Skate on 20 November 2010
160 bytes for a tv noise is too big for my taste. I don't know anything about DTV and I don't have one to test but if Vice's DTV emulation is accurate, something like this should work.

this 96b version has some glitches but effect is noise after all. ;) | User Comment Submitted by tlr on 19 November 2010
Correct, though a bra takes 4 cycles if it crosses a page.
Note that in skip cycle mode a bra takes 2 cycles always, but a jmp takes 3.
In burst mode they take even less dependent on the alignment. | User Comment Submitted by daison on 19 November 2010
I think branches and jmp's always use 3 cycles (when actually branching, which both bra and jmp always seem to do).
Correct?

@Mace: regarding the cycles, that too.
From the Van Halen JMP lyrics: "Might as well jump".
To be honest, if you can use BRA use it instead of JMP ;)

Didn't check, but my guess is that BRA also uses less cycles than JMP.
Van Halen on the other hand, often played JMP when girls started throwing their BRAs at them. | User Comment Submitted by Scout on 19 November 2010
BRA lets you jump 127 bytes forward or 128 bytes backward (just like the other branch (BNE, BEQ...) opcodes.
A BRA instruction is also 2 bytes big. A JMP instruction is 3 bytes.
Ideal for size coding :) | User Comment Submitted by daison on 19 November 2010
