by latch, do you mean discharge and recharge at VSYNC and VBLANK time, use a counter to
keep track of pot resistance, and simply save the final result value in memory to draw
in the player/block/man on the next frame...while at the same time
keeping two variables, one for the current counter, the other for the previous frame
counter position? cuz thats what i thought about doing...just obtaining the resistance
value and saving it for the next frame while keeping track during the next frame of the
resistance value whether it changed or not...it could work...

well im sure i will figure out the more advanced stuff eventually as soon as i get all
the basics down :)

according to this document about bank switching its actually both FFF8 and FFF9...but
thats for the standard 8K method :P
