Problem is that the free memory is scattered in small $100-$600 chunks.
So the last 24hrs I implemented a tool that parses ca65’s map file, applies bin-packing on the segments and auto generates the link file.
PROFIT!
I know have 3x16kb free ROM for some extras we’re working on.
I never knew I’d actually would use my computer science knowledge and just the concept of defragging a cart is mindboggling. :D |

From 35 to 48kB in 24 hours! Enough for a babes & dragons picture. |

Did I ever said I found an optimal solution? :)
I implemented BFD (Best fit, decreasing) and the solution found served me very well. I have a lot of segments, many large but also tons of small ones. This helps the packing. |

Mr SID's release of Sonic made me think of this again. How is this project coming along? :) |

That's great! (and I realise I should have mentioned more names than just Mr SID when referring to the release of Sonic, including yours of course) |
