Could you post a graphic without the chronocolor that just attempts to show
the interlace as a proof of concept?
Flicker can easily be interpreted as interlace so you don't want to
introduce deliberate flicker into the playfield just for the proof of concept.
To my eyes I can't see any difference between the interlace and
noninterlace BINs.
A good sample would be to zone the playfield out like this:
10 scanlines of:
FIELD1 RED
FIELD2 GREEN
This should appear as 30hz flicker on the red and the green, where either
the red shows over black or the green shows over black. TWICE AS THIN as
the usual 2600 scanline, though. That's the important thing, the apparent
height of the scanlines.
then 10 scanlines of
FIELD1 RED
FIELD2 BLACK
This should appear as 30hz flicker on the red isolated, TWICE AS THIN as
the usual 2600 scanline.
then 10 scanlines of
FIELD1 BLACK
FIELD2 GREEN
This should appear as 30hz flicker on the green isolated, TWICE AS THIN as
the usual 2600 scanline.
then 2 scanlines of
Field1 RED
FIELD2 RED
then 2 scanlines of
Field1 GREEN
FIELD2 GREEN
These two zones would show up like a normal 2600 scanline in height except
with the interlace flicker visible, similar to the output of the Bally game
systems (Astrocade, Wizard of Wor/Gorf).
