pfheights + pfres bug?

[Cybearg]

I can't seem to get a non-flickering mess of an image when I combine the super chip's pfres (of greater than 12) with the pfheights kernel option. Am I doing something wrong or is there some problem I'm not aware of here? Is there a fix?

   set romsize 16kSC
   set kernel_options pfheights
   const pfwidth = 4
   const pfres = 18

 playfield:
 ................................

 .......X...............XXXXX....
 ....X.XXX.X...........XXXXXXX...

end

 COLUPF = $0E
   pfheights:

end


title_loop

   drawscreen
 goto title_loop

Removing const pfres = 18 or taking out the pfheights kernel option will both work, but otherwise it's a flickering mess.

Afraid not. Someone else had the same problem as me, but there are no solutions brought up there, just people acknowledging the problem.

 

I guess that means there's no option for it.

I wonder if RevEng could make an adjustment to bB so it will work?
