With these terms it would be way more self explanatory than those old terms. Just IMO.

Agemixer (22:13:00)
Aswell what is called "stable raster" i'd rather use term "CPU sync(hronization) code"

Agemixer (22:11:35)
..used to CPU to finish the execution and write cycles. Which makes it impossible to guess which command is being executed, without "stable raster" routine for cycle exact run

Agemixer (22:10:18)
Why those "badlines" are actually considered "bad".. it is not about the 40 wasted cycles of char fetch but the "varying" 1-3 cycles before DMA starts

Agemixer (22:00:38)
The whole term is just completely misleading

Agemixer (21:59:38)
They are equal lenght of cycles anyway, and as the charfetch can be postponed anyway there are no "bad lines" as of scanlines.

Agemixer (21:57:53)
Those are all rasterlines, in c64 (Vic) terms

Agemixer (21:56:14)
Zoi ;D

zoi (21:54:53)
and good lines don't make sense without bad lines

zoi (21:54:37)
yes, but non-charfetch lines is such a mouthful compared to "good lines"
