VECTOR: Tech Asteroids video--Update

Hey Guys,

I looked at my Asteroids again last night and noticed something else about
the oddity that is happening and that is all canned actions (static) i.e.
ships and rock exploding and shots show, but movement of objects rocks and
ships are displaying as points and lines. I guess I'm trying to say is what
controls the calculations of the rocks, is there a AVG of some sort, bad ram
or????
Thanx Justin

Hey Guys,

Has anybody seen this, were the rocks are small points on the screen and the
ships are moving lines but the text is fine and so is the cross hatch in the
test mode. I have also swapped out the prom, ROMs, and the 6502a w/ a
working asteroids board...
any help???
Thanx justin
