Phew, at least one positive aspect of your report! :-)
Thanks for the testing. I've still no means of real
hardware testing. I'm planning on buying an EPROM burner
soon though.
Let me ask a few questions, to give me more hints
regarding the issues you reported:
> The star field only shows on the left side of the
> screen though
Is it completely shifted to the left? I mean are the
visible stars on the left half flying to the right or
are they behaving as they should and the right half is
just missing?

Is this possibly a contrast/color problem? Do you get to
see them when when tweaking your TV settings?

That's why I thought the above. I've no clue at the
moment why the ships should display fine and the meteors
not...

Ok, I'll check that.

Now that is very strange again. I'm running a random
number generator that is seeded once every frame. It
should produce as random numbers on emulation as on the
real thing. It's running the same code so the numbers
should be of the same quality. Hm... *puzzled*
Thanks again for the feedback!
Greetings,
Manuel
