A feature like "Remove interlace artifacts" for A2024 modes. Refresh the entire display every frame, using the last bitplane addresses etc. for the quadrants which aren't being refreshed that frame.

The normal A2024 display is surprisingly useable from Workbench, because the AmigaOS monitor driver refreshes the region containing the mouse pointer more often when it's moving. [Consequently the other regions are refreshed less often then. For example, open a large CLI window, Type a long text file, and move the mouse pointer in small circles in one corner of the screen. You can see the text update rate changing when you stop/start moving the mouse.]

A-Max seems to always refresh each quadrant in turn, so mouse pointer movement is much jerkier than in Workbench, and (just like on Workbench) scrolling text tears a lot. Being able to have the entire display update every frame would make using the emulated Mac much nicer.
