Luca ... I think PAL/NTSC should work fine as I retain bit 6 in $FF07 every time I write to the register. I do have a few IRQ's during the screen but everything seems fine on the emulators in PAL and NTSC so I'm assuming it will be ok on real hardware? I only have a PAL machine to check on.
Baz ... thanks for the kind words about Timeslip, that was one of my favourite games to write. The idea for the game came from some scrolling tests I did on the C16. I was looking for ways to make a side scrolling game last longer and it evolved into the three separate zones. Of course, it helped that I was only scrolling a small area of the screen  .
The Atari version is pretty much identical but by using hardware sprites for the rocket & submarine I could add some sideways movement. I've recently managed to get the original C16 code assembling again and was considering updating the game for the Plus 4. If I remember, I only had a handful of bytes free on the C16 version so there wasn't a lot more that could be added.
