The first RESP0 ends at cycle 22. This seems to be already part of the display, since cycle 22 is the first cycle, at which the trick works. Also, in the 15 sprite version of trick.a65, take a look at the second sprite from the right. It is displayed 2 pixel more to the left. This happens with all sprites, that don't have another sprite hitting the same RESPx register in time. Replace some of the STA RESPx in the middle with STA $86, to see, what I mean. >A few more questions on players :-) > > 1) Has anyone tried changing the graphics of a player while it's being > scanned? I don't know the exact timing, but it is possible to hit GRPx so, that some of the old and some of the new data is displayed.
