You can branch with .skipDraw somewhere outside the main kernel loop, wait or do something useful there and then jump back into the main kernel. This solution only works, if the cycles of the branches differ by at least 4 cycles (1 for the taken branch and 3 for the additional jump). If that's not the case, then you can change bcc .skipDraw into bcs .doDraw and reorganize your code. This only adds one cycle to the long branch. Or simply add one zero byte to the end of your data... :) > But to me, the processor directive should indicate the legal instruction > set, not a command line switch.

Agreed. Since most people were using DASM without illegal opcode support, we should add a new directive for illegal opcodes (6502i). Have fun!
