Start with the BitKit Menu, and adjust screen position and sync to 
optomize the picture. Then launch one of the games that is out of sync 
(Nibber and Vanguard are the usual suspects), and slowly adjust the 
sync/hold pot to stabilize the picture. Repeat this process until switching 
back and forth does not cause the monitor to lose sync.

3. The BitKit Menu is centered on the screen, but Nibbler 

hardware games are shifted to the left or right.

The Nibbler hardware games have slightly different sync timing than 
the other platforms. These games are Nibbler, Fantasy, Pioneer Balloon, 
Vanguard, and Zarzon. If you find that the Nibbler hardware games 
are shifted right/left respective to the other games, you can use this 
approach to fix the problem:

1. Launch Nibbler, and use your monitor’s Vertical position control 

to center the screen. Note because the monitor is vertical, this will 
actually adjust the side-to-side position of the picture. 

2. Exit Nibbler, back to the BitKit Menu. Now the problem will be 

reversed, and the BitKit Menu will be shifted left/right of center. 
Adjust the 

Options->Video->Horz Pos setting so that the BitKit 

Menu is properly centered again. This setting has no effect for Nibbler 
hardware games, so now all BitKit games will be properly centered.
