That wasn't my original intention, though... It could be made to fit an 8 bit counter, but I found that (roughly) halving the NTSC system gave me what I wanted without being unrecognizably low-res, and I was thinking about 256 lines, except it needed to be an odd number in order to be interlaced, so I just dropped it down one.
525 lines (NTSC) / 2 = 262.5
262.5 is a weird number. 256 is better.
256 won't interlace. Therefore 255.
