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)
