     I thought there would be some trick to avoid decoding video, but I didn't expect the 6502 would spend 100% of the time copying pre-rendered characters to screen memory!

     I don't quite understand why this hacker didn't use the memory expansion port and avoid the address generation logic and the tricky synchronization issues.

     @codewiz Sounds like good content for the comment section of the video ;)
     I think I saw this before done with an 8086 or such, but IIRC just streamed from a file on a media. When I did the badapple@mp3player animation, I also just streamed from a prepared file as the animation would never change.

     @globalc My comment must have been flagged as spam due to the link to c64-wiki.com. It's an understandable mistake, small wikis are often filled with link spam.

     @codewiz Maybe it needs to pass some manual check from youtube or such, I can not spot it among the comments. 26 comments are listed for me.

     @globalc I re-posted my comment without the link, and this time it didn't get deleted.
