Change that code in "Picture":
ldx #12 -> ldx #3 ;setup loop to
topMargin
sta WSYNC ;draw 3 (was 12) blank lines at top of screen
That will give you exactly 262 lines (and also slightly less flicker :-).
BTW: I have optimized the text display routine a little bit. Now you
could display about extra 3 lines of text. If you are interested, drop
me a mail.

Whatever you change, make sure that you create an *even* number of
lines, else there will be only b/w on PAL TVs.
Have fun!
