| | Wow, the "killer POKE" works! (Commodore PET 2001-8) |
| | A side effect is "sparkles" on the scren when things are displayed (because both the CPU and video system are referencing video memory at the same time) Almost every program I wrote had this POKE at the beginning. | | | It has something to do with releasing the system from being locked to the video sync, so it causes screen updates to occur much faster. | | | (Commodore PET 2001-8) My first attempt at the so-called killer poke on my Commodore PET 2001-8 resulted in a 30% speed increase! |
