Q: What about screensplits with the help of r#18?

-

A: Once again, this register behaves a bit strangely when you disable the sprites. During the display cycle, if you move the screen to the left using r#18, the entire current line is drawn in the background color. This only happens when the sprites are disabled. So if you’re creating a screensplit with the help of r#18, watch out for this.

Q: VDP does lots of random strange things, how come?
