The business about the unstable opcodes working different on different machines is fairly new information. It was an open question for many many years and I'm extremely pleased that somebody worked it out. Getting a heavy-sixer is my way of celebrating. And who knows, maybe there is an underlying reason that would allow non-heavy sixers to run the opcodes. But who cares? I dunno. I have some old demos where *sprites* are unstable on certain machines. That's never been explained. I sorta want to see what happens with them on a heavy-sixer too. But I'm looking forward to doing it with nice video. ;-) John ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
