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"

Agemixer (21:51:15)
as well as those "bad line" scanlines not being bad at all Just IMO about using of those old terms, heh

Agemixer (21:48:29)
suggest of using..

Agemixer (21:48:11)
For c64 coders.. instead of "bad line" i'd suggestbusing terms like "charfetch" (Vic DMA for character fetch scanline), aswell for sprites, "spritefetch" as short.
