The final four values are 13,11,15,1. If I swapped around L. Purple and L. Orange they look as if they need to be ordered the other way. That's why I kept them this way. The option you see now is the better one of the two (in my opinion). That being said I never was unhappy with the mike.vpl that has been in VICE for 10 years(?) now. Especially in NTSC it seems to depend on the VIC-variant as well. My PAL and NTSC-vic are both the cost reduced-variant. I seem to remember things look differently on older NTSC-VICs.
