Technically speaking, it's a feature.  Converting a full NTSC frame the way
the A3000's Amber chip does it is just guaranteed to give you that flickering
1/2 line.  That's an effect of the NTSC standard and the way its different
frames get displayed.  All this long and short, odd and even frame nonsense
I don't know all that much about.  It might be possible to fix, I don't know
if they're planning to or not.  It would certainly require a revision of the
Amber chip to accomplish.
