PAL/NTSC Half Variance Stable Raster

I needed such a routine, and this is based on JackAssers, which also looks very very similar to crossbows. So I whipped this up real quick.

Hope someone can add it to codebase.

		ldx #$38
		cpx $d012
		bne *-3

		ldy #$09
		dey
		bne *-1
		cmp #$ea		;ntsc with nop nop
		bit $ea
		nop
		inx
		cpx $d012
		beq branch1
		nop
		nop
branch1
		ldy #$09
		dey
		bne *-1
		cmp #$ea		;ntsc with nop nop
		bit $ea
		nop
		inx
		cpx $d012
		beq branch2
		bit $ea
branch2
		ldy #$09
		dey
		bne *-1
		cmp #$ea		;ntsc with nop nop
		nop
		nop
		inx
		cpx $d012
		bne branch3
branch3

each "step" in the above code halves the jitter (variance), until it gone

Well apparently it was off by 1 cycle for each stage, thanks to Jedi for using it and fixing it.

thanks, I didnt know that I thought only 1 cycle flicker can be eliminated per go.

If you have X cycle of jitter and make sure the middle of this jitter is on a raster line boundary you effectively half the jitter.

Sort of like a binary search of the original raster position, which you compensate for as you go along. =)
