Also,are you trying to put an > NTSC signal through a PAL TV or vice versa? Addendum to that (sorry for the self-reply) - does it only happen on the Supercharger? If so, since the Supercharger is known to drain more current than regular carts, loss of signal strength is a definite possibility. Anyone want to find an Atari game that does something during the vsync period, so Eckhard can try the same code on a real cart and on the SC so we can see if the SC does draw too much current? (this wouldn't even be too difficult - search a directory with .BINs for the byte codes that correspond to STA VSYNC - if another STA VSYNC isn't found within 10-15 bytes of the first, it's a candidate for testing. I might try this search myself when I get home.) -- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/stella.html Don't post pirate BINs to Stellalist.
