Coding > Scrolling problem

I've noticed that the screen gets a little bit "fussy" when scrolling? White turns into light gray and so on (when the white parts of a tile is over a gray part), but only when scrolling. Is this because the emulator can't redraw the screen fast enough, or is it because poor source code? :) Or is it my eyes playing games with me, since everything looks normal when taking a screenshot(when scrolling)

If you are using VisualBoy Advance, it is probably because you have the Motion Blur filter on. Turn it off and see if it shows any difference.

LCD pixels can't turn on and off as fast as CRT pixels. You'll get a bit of LCD motion blur when you play on real GBA or GBA SP hardware, a Game Boy Player connected to an LCD TV, or an LCD PC monitor.
