    Just for the record, most of the Commodore 64 emulations out there support
every last undocumented opcode of the 6510...probably because there are a few
programs which depend on them. I just wish the VIC-II was as well
documented...there are still a few tricks this chip can do that the emulators
can't...

    Agreed.
