Awesome ... thank you! Armed with this information I can now run everything on zimmers

I guess I should work out how to add a tiny BASIC stub to my pure machine code program so it is more convenient to start!

Ah I hadn't thought about a BASIC stub. Makes sense though!

I am trying to run Practicalc.prg (the spreadsheet program.)

That's what I thought. That is also the address used by the Vice monitor 'load' command as the load address if not specified manually. However if I run from the Vice load address, it doesn't work. (It does work with my self-developed program file, where I know the starting address is the load addres...

This seems like a stupid / simple question, but I figured I may as well ask the wise folk here. When I download cartridge images from zimmers, they usually autostart. With other random .prgs, I know the loading address from the first two bytes, but is there some convention for the entry point? I can...

Nope I didn't post over there (maybe my friend did?)

Hi folks, I inspired a good friend of mine to take his Pet 2001 out of storage and power it up. Much to his delight, it worked perfectly for long enough for him to start hacking on a BASIC program. However after a few minutes there was some ominous smoke and the loss of power. I am assuming it is pr...

Hej san! I visit Sweden from time to time on work. I am up to 539 bytes of code now, mostly just trying stuff out and writing some utility code to plot on the screen, hook IRQ, set up UDGs etc. Now I guess I have to decide what to turn it into! Incidentally, I am using the xa65 assembler on Linux an...

I have just written 232 bytes of assembly. 3351 bytes to go

I am just experimenting with the Vice monitor right now. I have been able to assemble a little program using the 'xa65' assembler on Linux, load it into Vice and run it. Fun times!!

Pleased to meet fellow Torontonians! I may have to come out to a TPUG meeting. I have a colleague at work who has a Pet 2001 ... I am trying to encourage him to get it out of storage

Hi folks, I just joined Denial after lurking here for a while. My eyesight is not so good as it was, so I am returning to 22 column computing!! An Ebay package is on its way to me :) I am excited like an 11 year old all over again! I had a VIC20 back in 1982 or so. It was finally replaced by a used ...
