but probably the smallest size for the code: if the read scanline is other than previous+1, then we are just sync

Agemixer (11:03:55)
the slowest way is to check for chance of scanline using 62 or 64 cycle counts while the actual rasterline lenghtvis 63cy. (PAL machine)

Agemixer (11:01:33)
yet 4th way to sync chips is about halving the jitter, reading every scanline changes (slow method but not slowest)

(badline DMA or sprite DMA, CpU has to stop executing for others chips accessing the bus)

Agemixer (10:56:27)
Quite a trickery to synchronize CPU and graphics chip - there is also a DMA cycles choice of syncing in using the CPU execution cycles during DMA starts with 3 emptive cycles to get the CPU finish the command first

Agemixer (10:51:38)
so when an interrupt occurred, and reading whether 3rd scanline is reached at exact timing, then reducing one cycle

Agemixer (10:48:27)
they actually did it stable by interrupting at one scanline (raster int), then preparing int for the next scanline, and give NOPs that reduces the jitter to max 2 cycles instead of random 1..8,
