I think it's to reduce color flickering with the 2 different dithering

Hi!
The TEX slideshows were likely 60 Hz because Spec 512 itself was, 50 Hz
display would have needed the displaycode to be modified and not ripped
right off (speculating what happened here ;)
But yes for dual-field (as well as normal interlace) 60 Hz helps a fair
bit.
A 60 Hz screen has only 263 hbl, but I see the demo is switching to med res
on hbl 259, so the last 4 lines of the screen are displayed in med res, I
don't see the point. Maybe something is displayed on a real STE that we don't
see on Hatari ? But it's just seem to show some garbage lines.
I've run it on my STe (that's why I figured it was 60 Hz, as the screen
appeared more stretched than usual). I did not see any garbage graphics at
the bottom. Of all the monitors I've tried (including a PAL DV recorder),
they only show 274 Atari PAL lines, not 276 that Hatari do.
Maybe the same problem in 60 Hz, Hatari show more lines than a real
machine would so you get some graphics garbage at the bottom. Another
thing is that perhaps Hatari window should somehow shrink or crop to the
correct 263 HBL. On the other hand in programs switching a lot it might be total mayhem.
About medres. I can't be sure, but switching to medres then zeroing four
palette registers is a faster way to blank the screen than to zero all 16
registers, it could be the reason.
For now, I added a 4 cycles tolerance to this case, so the demo should now
run OK :)
Thanks :)
I suppose nobody is doing nightly builds for OS X? As usual I'm too lame
to compile hatari.
