After reading the Stella manual again, I catched my error. You can't
wait for a new frame, but you signal when a new frame starts. OK, big
difference here! Next question :o) NTSC needs 40 scan lines for VBLANK
and PAL needs 48 scan lines for VBLANK. What happens, if you do more
than 40 scan lines on NTSC, say 48? Does this work? Ignoring color
differences on NTSC and PAL, is it possible to write a syncronisation
routine with this for NTSC and PAL? Yes, your are loosing scan lines on
NTSC etc. But is it?
