Any known bugs in the MOS 6561 to exploit for demo effects?

Post by nanoflite »

Hi,

It seems the VIC-II in the C64 has some very nice bugs that enables it to do more than it actually should be capable off... I'm thinking about opening the borders etc... Do we know of similar quirks for the 6560/6561 that have been used in a demo effect?

Cheers,
Johan

This one springs to mind (a bit old)

The author (Viznut) also made the famous (?) "Impossiblator 3" demo.

Some bits were discussed here recently (well some years ago now :)

Nice! Thank you!

Yes, the "impossibilator 3" is a great example ;-)
