Ok, great, thanks, that's the perfect explanation why it does not work
in Hatari anymore - the opcodes are not emulated here.

Maybe a quirk with the GEMDOS HD emulation... it's not perfect. In case
you're interested, you could try to copy it to an IDE hard disk image
first and see whether it makes a difference.

Your impression is likely right: Hatari does not emulate the timings of
the Videl chip yet, so VBL rate is very likely just wrong.

Thanks!
