Roller-RAM from Joyce

[funkheld]

Hi good afternoon.


actually a byte with 255 should be at address b600.
why does this simple program not work with one byte.


Thank you.

Hello,

Please - think back to the code examples from John Elliott that you were playing with before.

You've written a little prog which is sitting in the SYSTEM memory, i.e. the 4 banks that are active normally.

BUT, the SCREEN ram (is in a different bank, and you're not doing a bank swap as per the earlier progs, so the FF will be set in a byte in the SYSTEM memory map and NOT in the SCREEN RAM.

Maybe if the 3 lines to place the data in RAM were after the 2 lines which (I think) are doing the swap this might help, BUT I don't think you've placed the 3 lines where they'll be available after the bank swap??

Again, refer back to the earlier progs.

Geoff
