Those might be easier to detect. As just noticed - there is a difference in the number of scan lines, which might in fact be easier to abuse. > I suggest this since it's possible by software if you have a 6569R1 or a later VIC and if later, if it's a 6569 or a 8565. > > Here's what Segher wrote about it: > > Excellent fun!

How does one trigger LP IRQ from within software alone? Is it a kind of raster position / CIA port combination? > The 8565 vs. 6569 test seems to be if sprite-background collision > is triggered for a sprite with ECM colour 2 (bits 10) (on 8565 it > is, on 6569 not).
