Yep, not the first boner I've pulled, and saddly it won't be the last.

There we go then. I'll be sure to leave the VSYNCs as is from now on.
And go back and fix the other ones in my other programmes.

Actually, it's more a matter of "taking baby steps" right now. I just wanted
to see what it would do, how many horizontal positions you could get out
of RESP and where they would be.
But I'll take a look at the SoundX code. That routine sounds like it'll
be perfect. I've always wished they implimented a better horizontal positioning
routine in the 2600. Something like a one command HMOVE where you put a value
in it and the sprite goes to one of 256 horizontal locations.

(That would be great from hell!!)
