someone ran a diag tool that calculates the bus speed based on vblank and timebase, and it was saying 324 which is the next divisor down from the one i was aiming at initially that would explain the instability lol, it seems stable at 270 btw

query: nz flag in z80
response:
It looks like you're asking about the New Zealand flag in Z80 assembly. That's a fun but tricky idea! The Z80 is an 8-bit microprocessor from the late 1970s, so if you want to display something like the NZ flag, you'd need to:

- Decide on the platform (e.g., ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, MSX, or a custom Z80 system). Each has different video hardware.
- Represent the flag as pixel data (bitmaps or character blocks).
- Write Z80 assembly routines to copy that data into the video memory.
