I ran a DEMO that does this on an STE and the video hardware really chucked
up on it. The custom chips on the STE no longer have the same quirks as the
old ones so if you don't want to lose compatibilty don't do it. Also the
sync scrolling technique uses frequency toggling and I believe loses on
a native 60Hz display.
