I´ve tested SP18 with PCAE 2.1 for DOS and the screen still jitters, but
this seems to be a bug within PCAE.
The problem is here:
F505 8502 STA WSYNC
Because of previous branches, on even frames you reach it at scanline 68,
colorclock 6, and on odd frames at scanline 67, colorclock 225.
On both cases, after WSYNC (I think) you should be at scanline 69,
colorclock 0. But on odd frames PCAE leaves you at scanline 68, colorclock
0, and that makes the rest of the frame to be displayed one scanline
earlier.

Maybe the 7800 behaves different from the 2600 when you do a WSYNC so close
to the end of the scanline.
