Just curios about The missing playfield lines

[Aloan]

Só I noticed that batari made games seem tô have missing horizontal playfield lines at certain intervals. 

Why is that? Thanks

Can you post some screenshots to show what you're talking about?

I do not notice this unless you mean blank lines there's a kernel option to get rid of them.

 

no_blank_lines

No gaps in playfield blocks. Cost: loss of missile0.

 

To use:

 

set kernel_options no_blank_lines

All batari made games seem to do this to the playfield (cutting them in stripes)

Thanks for the images. Not all batari Basic games have that problem. As others have posted, we can use no_blank_lines with the standard kernel. And DPC+ bB games don't have any of those lines.
