Hi Mauro! Thank you for your help. I made the change that you suggested. It fixed the video freeze. I still have issues though. There is a huge green bar at the bottom of the screen and the colors don't work correctly. On my Atari Flashback, the screen is in black and white: http://imgur.com/a/U6Shv I tried on my Nintendo 64 to see if I would get the same result, what I got is a disco effect: https://youtu.be/WLlqJ7T3y4g As you can see, it goes through the whole range of color hues. The frame rate is low, but that's my screen recorder's fault. What should I do next?
