Size of Vicmon?

Post by Noizer »

I'm on with Vicmon $B000 Version. Does anyone know the actual size of it? Does it actually occupy completely 4K, or can space from $BE5B upwards (padding AA) be used? Page $BF00 seems also free for use.

You're probably safe using all the $AA-padded space if VICmon is in RAM. Worst-case scenario is you crash VICmon and reset your VIC. But that seems super-unlikely.
