Diagram of safe area on 5.37 MHz NTSC VDPs like the NES PPU

Red: Danger Zone, top and bottom 8 lines; Most TVs hide all of this. Keep NES scroll seam artifacts here if possible. Later consoles don't even generate this.
Yellow: Action Safe Area, 256x224, (0, 8)-(255, 231); Most TVs show some of this.
Blue: PocketNES Safe Area, 240x212, (8, 16)-(247, 227); Practically all TVs show this. Platforms, pits, and indicators are fine.
Gray: Title Safe Area, 224x192, (16, 24)-(239, 215); Marked on Nintendo background planning sheet. Keep menus, score, dialogue, and legal notices here.
