Are we sure that LAX (not LXA) works 100% on all 2600s? That opcode is used in many of our new homebrews in the section you wrote that determines when to display a sprite.

IMO it looks like the opcode is unstable (not too surprising). I'll try with my
PAL Six Switcher and Jr. tonight.


Maybe I'll adapt my test program then to find out how it behaves when failing.

IMO it would be probably better to emulate those unstable opcodes randomly
or define them as jam instructions.

Have fun!
