Thanks a lot!

The only real solution that I can see is to separate the display routines
from the gameplay. Once I get to understand how the IRQ's are coded in
cc65 I will write a double-buffering application that works with the
speed I decide independently of the system speed.

That may be true. But there are some very cool applications out there that
could be ported to all systems. Like Frozen Bubbles. Good eye candy, nice
tunes, addictive gameplay. I already have it on my mobile phone and on my
desktop. Both work equally well.

Besides it is more fun to code for simple systems than to tackle giant
libraries for modern hardware. That's the only real reason I do Lynx
coding.
