It doesn't turn it on when passing through the end of 24th. But if I switch it to 24 rows right after the 24th is already rendered, then it may "think" that the border is already on and skip turning it once more. Then horizontal borders were a natural extrapolation of the same thougts. But for some of the newer effects I couldn't find convincing story to say to oneself as explanation how it could be guessed. > Yes, but once the borders were mastered, curious minds will look at other features and what happens when you enable/disable them at the right moment. The breakthrough was finding out that VIC can be made to behave differently from the data sheet. From then on it was just a matter of try and error. See what people have been able to make TED do by playing with the vertical and horizontal counters. Gerrit Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2016-10-15 20:00:36
