Yes, looks fine, but I don't think it's related to my latest patch, as
this demo is mainly changing only the background color using the blitter
(which gives a 8 pixels precision for each color)

Problem is in blitter timings and the way the blitter can start/work while
the cpu is still processing an instruction (using some kind of "idle"
cycles not taken by the cpu).
Hatari can't emulate both blitter and cpu at the same time, it runs them
one after the other, which will not be enough in the case where blitter is
used with overscan (at least in this demo)
Very hard to emulate correctly now, this would require to replace the cpu
core with winuae's one which supports "sub cycle" for each 68000
instruction (at the cost of a much more cpu intensive emulation)
