Flicker in bottom few tile rows of screen.

Whenever a sprite moves within the bottom few tiles, those rows flicker and get very ugly.

I suspect this is because the RSP hadn't quite finished rendering the last rows before being asked to render the new ones.

I think the fix here is to have some way for the RSP to signal that it is done and not interrupt it with a new render request. Just skip that frame.

There is also scope for optimising the RSP code - take advantage of delay slots where possible and avoid repeating a few calculations.

Oh it's weirder than that. I hacked it so that only those rows would render and got the same behaviour. That can't be timing...

Yep, the RSP is finishing well before the next frame comes along. What is this...

Might be due to the fact I'm only working with one framebuffer atm. Let's try with two.
