thanks for this information, I'll check the 8296 documentation


for the standard 64k extension I found a solution

I can monitor the write in $FFF0 and stop the capture cog when the 
screen memory is not mapped....


this is the result:

and the 8032 board with the vga card

I'll also have to delay the reset of the 6502 to be sure that it is 
starting only when the propeller is ready
