Just use a simple copy loop. Early ROMS used the background colour or something, well didn't always set the colour RAM to expected colour :) |

How many people actually uses the ROM in demos?
I never did. All my code starts with:
sei
lda #$35
sta $01
but i've seen a lot of demos and stuff with the rom switched on. Why is that? Then you have less memory. :)

I normally only turn the ROM off if I need to... However in Trackmos it's something different... It certainly gets difficult when integrating what different coders have created ;-)

The old $e544 doesn't take the colour from $0286 but it take the background-colour. Some demos doesn't work because of this bug and even decruncher seems to fuck up... Try RED STORM on an old C64... |

Is there an image of that old ROM available somewhere on the net to use in emulators?
I'd also like to have Swedish (different charset) etc. ROMs.

do this :
lda #charcolor
sta $0286
sta $d021
jsr $e544
lda #bgcolor
sta $d021
always works, but has this annoying background flash..
use
lda #147
jsr chrout
otherwise.. same as shift-home, but slow
or make a simple loop routine..

This behaviour is actually explained in Bagnall's On The Edge. Early revisions of the VIC had a problem where small dots of the foreground colour would flicker randomly all over the screen. Obviously, this would have given potential customers a really bad first impression of the C64. There was no time to fix the hardware, so they added a workaround to the kernal ROM, where the current background colour would be stored into all colour RAM locations corresponding to blank characters on the screen. |

$e544 sets color mem to white in kernal rev1... |
