FO 10:22 PM EclaireXL Developer: RE: Register differences vs the original

I see, to protect against existing writes - which are most likely not repeated. Any thoughts on address?

FO 08:08 PM EclaireXL Feature #13 (New): 32x speed cpu without wait states

The whole system is clocked at 32*original clock. However the 6502 turbo is limited to 16x due to the ram speed, since a block ram access cycle takes 2 cycles. Try to clock the block ram at 64* original clock as a quick win to get 32x tu... foft

Discussion on register differences from the original hardware.
So far I'm considering the following:

00 = playfield dma off
01 = playfield dma on - original colour clock
10 = playfi... foft

Galaxian flickers on scrolling when using a real cartridge. This does not happen when using the virtual cartridge.
