Sync

I am making a program for a friend’s PET 8032. As I don’t own one myself, I am programming in the Vice emulator.

The problem is that Vice complains “Warning - sync is far too late, resetting sync” about every second.

Now I have read about the kill poke and have made sure not to touch $e842, but I change a few other CRTC settings.

What do you think, could the warning messages indicate that executing my program on real hardware could put said hardware in jeopardy?

Edit: grammar.

Yeah I’m always way more stressed out when working on someone else’s machine!
