I'll search for the Tandy1000 code.
As is often the case, when I blame the hardware, it is usually my code. While converting from Tandy 1000 to PCJr I left a "mov dx,bp" that was causing the crash.riq wrote: Apparently 0x3da bit 0 works as horizontal retrace... but for some reason, sometimes hangs in part of my code (should double why)
On other new I managed to have a "stable rasterbar" on the PCJr. Not a big deal, but from having a "horiz retrace crashes my machine" to a "stable raster" is a big progress for me
It is just a horizontal retrace + nops, and the garbage is not seen since the border covers it.
Re: video segment: where is it?
Looks like you did better than I did -- introJR has moving raster bars, but they aren't stable (they have noise).

In case you want to take a look at it here is the code:Trixter wrote:Looks like you did better than I did -- introJR has moving raster bars, but they aren't stable (they have noise).

I noticed that if the noise is moved too far to the right, it will generate even greater noise (for example: in my code use 340 nops instead of 335 when doing "fat raster bars").
Perhaps that "even greater noise" could be used as a feature instead of a bug... I'll try to find a use for that.
