start assemblycode with basic-commando, "run"
hej people a simple question..
i want to code a tool which saves as executable.
most of the code is already done.
but how do i save sothat RUN starts it?
i already copied a binary of the usual start SYS2059 into my code and i've let my actual code begin on that exact location (of sys 2059).
but it doesn't start properly.
also when i LIST there is also a lot of other garbage besides the usual basic to assembler start.
i am not a basic-fan or basic-expert, normally i only deal with asm, who can help me out??what am i doing wrong?

SYS2059 is a trick that only works if the second byte of the code at $080b is $00. This is because that $00 byte is the MSB of the last basic link address.
Use SYS2061 + the regular 3 * $00 termination and you'll be fine. |

since you will want to initialize the registers with zero value anyway rather sooner than later in almost any program, it's recommendable to do it like this:
*= $0801
!byte $0b,$08,$dd,$07,$9e,$32,$30,$35,$39;2013 SYS2059
*= $080b
lda #00
tax
tay
; some copy screen and/or color ram loop could follow, for example
It's not necessary to have $00 at $080b and the zero at $080C should have some use :) |

Or shorter ...
*= $0801
!byte $0b,$08,$dd,$07,$9e,$32,$30,$35,$39;2013 SYS2059
*= $080b
!byte $ab,$00
tay

nice ulli, another byte saved \o/!
but if I quote your own group's OpCode table annotations (highly appreciated btw)
Quoting 'LAX'highly unstable (results are not predictable on some machines)

that only applies if the argument is not zero, LAX #$00 works fine always :) |

To complete it even further, why not use real code instead of bytes?
.word $0801
*=$0801
.word basend
.word 0
.byte $9e
.asc "2061"
.byte 0
basend
.word 0
*=$080d ;obsolete

Or you could use exomizer to compress your code and start it =] |
