While this is a good way to display a starfield screen, it's not the
same effect. For the Starpath start-up screen they set up 256 bytes of
the SC RAM with some data. They use this data to manipulate the
ball graphics. They change the colour and shift it in every scanline.
Since most values would result in a black colour, you get a falling
starfield effect.
