Xsiz=400h works only indirectly: Param=400h is handled as Xsiz=0, however,

Note that because of the height (Ysiz) masking, a maximum of 511 rows can be filled in a single command. Calling a fill with a full VRAM height of 512 rows will be ineffective as the height will be masked to 0.

## GPU Timings
#### Nominal Video Clock

NTSC video clock = 53.693175 MHz
PAL video clock = 53.203425 MHz
```
Consoles will always use the video clock for its region, regardless of the GPU being configured in NTSC or PAL output mode, because an NTSC console lacks a PAL reference clock and vice versa. Without modifications for an additional oscillator for the other region, consoles may experience drift over time when playing content from a different video region. See vertical refresh rates below.
#### Vertical Video Timings
```
263 scanlines per field for NTSC non-interlaced
262.5 scanlines per field for NTSC interlaced
314 scanlines per field for PAL non-interlaced
312.5 scanlines per field for PAL interlaced
```
Horizontal blanking and vertical blanking signals occur on the video output side as expected for NTSC/PAL signals. These are not necessarily the same as the timmer/interrupt HBLANK and VBLANK.
#### Vertical Refresh Rates
```
NTSC mode on NTSC video clock
Interlaced: 59.940 Hz
Non-interlaced: 59.826 Hz
PAL mode on PAL video clock
Interlaced: 50.000 Hz
Non-interlaced: 49.761 Hz
NTSC mode on PAL video clock
Interlaced: 59.393 Hz
Non-interlaced: 59.280 Hz
PAL mode on NTSC video clock
Interlaced: 50.460 Hz
Non-interlaced: 50.219 Hz
```
For emulation purposes, it's recommended to use an NTSC video clock when running NTSC content (or in NTSC mode) and a PAL clock when running PAL content (or in PAL mode).
