VERA Tile RAM Question

Ok. So I'm trying to understand how the VERA organizes the tile memory. For a baseline, I'll use the Commodore 64 as an example. If I wanted to manually "poke" a character into the Upper-Left corner of the screen, I'd POKE the Screen Code to 1024. Is there a corresponding POKE for the VERA...

Question about Loading UCase/LCase fonts

I've been trying to load a custom character set using bvload"customchars.bin",8,1,$f000 I have an entire font ready. When I load that, three things happen: (1) the text colors get messed up (color 1 no longer is white and the text on screen is red). (2) I can't access my custom font charac...

BLOAD Question

When I perform a BLOAD in direct mode, I get the ending address of the event (example: Loading from $01:A000 to $02,A580)

How do I get the End bank and address in BASIC? I'm assuming it's a PEEK. I just don't know where to look

Re: X16 SD-card image "launch title" software

I noticed some minor bugs in the labyrinth.prg game in the launch title software. I have a version where I've fixed them all and made a few quality of life enhancements. Note that I haven't fixed any of the errors that would occur if you run it on a Commodore 64. https://github.com/ariz3388/labyrint...

Re: Count your RAM banks

Thanks for that update. I looked for about an hour and couldn't find how to read the Acculumator from BASIC. I knew it was a zero page location but couldn't find it.

Re: Count your RAM banks

On the off chance someone is looking to do this in BASIC: 10 BC=0:I=0 15 BANK I 20 IF PEEK($A000)=160 THEN GOTO 40 30 BC=BC+1:I=I+1:GOTO 15 40 PRINT"TOTAL BANKS:";BC 50 PRINT"TOTAL HI-RAM:";(BC*8);"K" It's not the most elegant way, and if you're planning on using that m...

Re: What PC case are you using?

I really really really want one that reminds me of the old horizontal pc models. Since I won't use the expansion slots right away, I would love this look and feel. If I can't find a way to make it work, I'll get the official case. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d8/Amiga_A1000_IMG_4...
