BLOAD/BRUN beginning bytes

Submitted by marktbaldridge on June 30, 2008 - 1:24pm. Apple II

I was using a C compiler for the Apple II (cc65) I sucessfully compiled one of their examples, and I put it on a disk image to test in an emulator. But...the BLOAD/BRUN commands need a few bytes at the beginning of the file to tell it where to load, and how much. But I have no clue what exactly it needs, and in what syntax? If some Apple II innards guru could help me with this that would be wonderful!

Thanks!

Mark -

AppleCommander has some nice tools to move your code to an executable form on a disk image:

Where'd you get the C compiler? Is there a digital manual?

Where can one get a the C compiler?

Also, you shouldn't need the syntax for BLOAD'ing (though you can BLOAD to a specific location) and BRUN'ing, just BSAVE'ing. It is discussed in another A][ forum here, so search for that for more details.

example: BSAVE HIRESSCRNMEM,A$2000,L$2000
-Where HIRESSCRNMEM is the name of the file to be saved, A$ indicates the starting point in memory (hexadecimal), and L$ the length of the file.

ADTPro?

Could you use ADTPro's bootstrapping utility to put binarys into an apple's memory?

Apple Game Server?

Submitted by david__schmidt on June 30, 2008 - 6:29pm.

You _could_, but it would be a bit of a stretch. Apple Game Server (http://a2gameserver.berlios.de/) might be a better fit.
