Looking at the original Atari 800 version of Salmon Run that you posted to  
AtariAge the other day, it uses a narrow playfield instead of a standard-width  
playfield, so you definitely don't need PF0. The Atari 800 version displays 
the  background (border) color there, so you could just load PF0 with #$00 and 
leave  it alone if you want your version to be faithful to the original-- or 
you could  load PF0 with #$F0 so the unused side area will be the color of the 
banks,  rather than the color of the river. :) I would personally opt for usi
ng #$F0 so  the banks extend all the way across the screen, but that's just me. 
And it might  depend on whether or not the obstacles (bears and whatnot) will 
have free range  on the screen, or will be restricted to the central 128 
color clocks as in the  Atari 800 version.
