OK, now looks like the TV... :)

I dropped the single/continuous fire done whith the player 2 difficulty
switch and used it for the pal/ntsc conversion instead. Somebody might not
like this, but this way I've recycled a lot of bytes.

The screen kernel, from the top of the screen to the line after the 1-digit
counter, is made of 178 lines.
Then, there's a "filler" loop thad does 192-178 (or 228-178 for PAL) STA
WSYNC's.
With "removing one line" (not very correct indeed) I meant doing 191-178
lines instead 192-178.

The two timer loops (one to wait for the end of Vblank, the other for
Overscan), are like this:
LF20C: LDA INTIM
BNE LF20C
STA WSYNC
That is, there's not a STA WSYNC immediately before the start of the loop,
but how could this matter..?

Not at home, but I'm very curious to try the game on it.
It's my girlfriend father's TV, and since I must go there with 1.an Atari
2600 2.power supply 3.cables 4.Supercharger 5.Mac Powerbook I need to find
the good moment... :))
