Thanks for the code!

I noticed that you count 5-6 cycles for this opcode.
If you align (something like: align 256 + 120) the data P1/P2Offset are
pointing to, then you can avoid the extra cycles for crossing a page.
Then all code in your main kernel has a constant timing, which would
allow you to remove WSYNC and get some more cycles. And that should
allow you to add code for one missile (perhaps even both), and avoid
flicker.
Have fun!
