I've had a short look at Gas Hog. It does 5 lines of VSYNC and the only
TIA registers it writes to are AUDx1.
Here is some code:
ldx #$2a
sta WSYNC
stx VBLANK
stx VSYNC
stx TIM8T
...
Lf0a6:
lda INTIM
bne Lf0a6
sta WSYNC
sta VSYNC
That look's ok for me too.
What do you mean exactly with uninterrupted?
I'm doing some stuff (SWCHB, RESxy, HMMxy, NUSIZx, VDELPx) during VSYNC
in Thrust and Jammed too and nobody reported any sync problems yet.
Have fun!
Thomas
