Fixing a hole

So I spent like five hours trying to put a hole in Snowman for the Odyssey 2. I came back to it after I had an idea about putting holes in it in my sleep last night. So I go to open the last file and the last time I worked on it was 12/31. Doesn't seem like that long ago, but it really does now. I guess because the days whiz by now. I swear days used to be longer when I was a kid. Oh well. The problem I was having was not with the holes themselves, but the snowman flickering. I tried everything to reduce it. Nothing was working. I was just about to give up when all of a sudden something finally started to not make the snowman flicker. So now what I need to do the next time I feel like it is to play Moon Patrol to see what the game is like. It's on Midways Arcade's Greatest Hits Vol. 2 for Dreamcast so I'd need to hook up my Dreamcast to play it.
