cc65 optimizations online: more wanted!

Submitted by Harry Potter on November 29, 2022 - 3:00pm

Hi!  I like optimizing.  In fact, I have five lists of ten optimization techniques each online.  They are at c65 additions - Manage Files at SourceForge.net.  If you have some good ideas to add to them, please post them here.  I'm currently working on a text adventure for the C64 and may eventually port it to the Apple2 and other 6502-based computers.

cc65 return sequence difference porting from other systems

Submitted by Harry Potter on November 28, 2022 - 1:42pm

Hi!  I am working on a text adventure.  I need to continue it.  I also have some code around which others can build text adventures for cc65.  I have the latter available for CBM and Atari 8-bit models and want to port it to the Apple2enh.  The problem is that the other systems execute a Return in a string as "\n" while the Apple2 uses "\r."  Somebody elsewhere told me about the charmap #pragma of cc65.  What numbers do I need to supply to get "\n" to translate to "\r"?

A2e parts

Submitted by Ratso222 on November 28, 2022 - 12:07pm

Cleaning house and will part with any and everything I have for Apple 2e. As far as I know everything worked when I put it away except for one of my three  5.25 floppy drives. I will sell at a huge (really huge) discount. I hate to dispose of it since it cannot be replaced and might help someone who is fixing up his/her system.  I think for most things the shipping would be more than the item. Shipping out of USA is very expensive so within the 48 would be most economical. No reasonable offer will be refused.

Publish MadLibApple prematurely?

Submitted by Harry Potter on November 28, 2022 - 10:02am

Hi!  I have a program called MadLibApple.  It is a demo program for AuxMemApple, a cc65 memory extender for the Apple2enh target.  It shows how to use AuxMemApple to access aux memory and load data to aux RAM.  It also shows how to use ProDOSi and unused memory in main RAM.  AuxMemApple is not currently ready for publication, but MadLibApple is in working condition.  Should I release MadLibApple now?  If so, where can I upload it?

There's a bug in ProDOSi/cc65!

Submitted by Harry Potter on November 26, 2022 - 3:19pm

Hi!  I just wanted to share that there is a bug in my ProDOSi API for cc65: when returning an error, my code doesn't set gthe MSB to 0.  Therefore, you need to clear the MSB yourself by ANDing the returned value with 255.  Otherwise, is it good?

Video recreating my childhood Apple IIe bedroom setup

Submitted by IIeBoy on November 26, 2022 - 1:56pm

In my favourite & most personally meaningful video to date, I try to recreate my Apple //e childhood setup & more. As you’ll see, that little Apple is by far the more nostalgic & emotional memory for me. I hope you get some nostalgia hits from it too.

So I accidently purchased a IIGs and can't get a printer work.

Submitted by NovellNetware on November 24, 2022 - 11:42pm

So I have a Epson fx-890 with a Parallel port. I have a Quadram Phaser Serial to Prallel buffer box. I tested it with my PC and it works great. Not bad for a convert from 1983 or whatever date was on it. Now I hook my iigs up to it. using null modem, non null modem. Etc, etc. even found ou the baud out needs to be 9600. But no matter what port I use. The Printer or modem port. I get nothing or a very small, small amount of garbage. The cable that came with it was used for a modem and works great with ADT-PRo. I have some other cables that all seems to work great with ADT-Pro.
