They just reedited all of the original Robert Johnson 78 rpm records. 12 discs, only 349$!

poke 36864

Hi, By how many pixels does the screen shifts horizontally when you increment or decrement memory location 36864? Is it the same in NTSC and in PAL? What about vertical (36865)? The reason I'm asking is because I'm thinking about finer scrolling without having to redefine all characters for the back...
