 Re: cc65 Plus4 Cart bug...

The error appears to be near the code that initializes the stack. BTW, the 16k version works. Should I upload it now? Or should I wait until the 32k version is ready?

 My cc65 optimizations online!

 Plus4Cart issue w/ printf(): lock-up at start-up

Hi! I got my Plus4/cc65 cartridge libraries to work, but now, there is a problem: I added my own version of printf() to the test program. Now, the program locks up at start-up. sad I disabled the line in the crt0.s file that calls initlib, and the program locks up at the call to printf(). I looked at the source for a reference to the init routines and didn't find anything. What in printf() would be called from initlib? Or do I need to check out the initlib function? Following is the crt0.s file:

--------------------

 Re: Plus4Cart issue w/ printf(): lock-up at start-up

I found the bug. happy It was the same as before: the kernal entry names don't seem to be pointing to the proper addresses. This time, it was in the write.s file in the cbm library sources. sad I think I have a recent build of cc65 but not the latest. I didn't include "cbm_kernal.inc" in the sources, but the entry point declarations sjhould point to the right kernal entry point.

 cc65/Plus4 bug w/ kernal calls: bad labels

Hi! I've been having an issue with cc65 and the Plus4 target regarding kernal calls from assembler using entry-point labels: I get system crashes and lock-ups. When I use the address, however, it works. I believe this is a bug in cc65's Plus4 libraries. I can try to include an assembler module containing an .include of the file containing the kernal jump entries from the CBM library.

 Bug in Plus4Cart03/cc65

Hi! I already have two Plus4 cartridge configurations for the Plus4: one for a 16k cartridge and one for a 32k cartridge to treat the upper 16k as hidden data via a port of my Hidden64 library. Now, I am working on a 32k cartridge where the whole 32k is accessible and kernal access is delegated. It has a bug: the first time it is run, it works. The demo is doing everything it's supposed to do. However, when I exit the program, the first piece of text is displayed, but the first key press doesn't register. Following is the crt0.s code:

 Re: cc65/Plus4 cartridge libraries available!

Now I have a better 32k Plus4 cartridge library for cc65: the full 32k cartridge is available, and kernal calls are delegated accordingly. There is a bug at restart, though. sad It is at the same location as the previous.

Right now, cgetc() doesn't work, and, sometimes, while displaying the text, it doesn't complete the option, and the keyboard doesn't respond. sad

 Plus4Cart3 bug

Hi! I am working hard on my Plus4/cc65 cartridge library and am having a problem: while printing text to the screen, the program stops in the middle of the process. sad I don't know what's causing this. Following is the write.s file as included in the library:

BTW, IIRC, cgetc() doesn't work either, but getkey() does.

 Re: Harry Potter CC65 Thread

Hi, again! I am having a problem with my MemBankP4 library: the getkey() function isn't working properly: the screen keeps refreshing, as if I keep pressing a key, then, when I press a key, I get a JAM execution error at $0004. Following is the gertkey.s code:

-----------------------
.segment "LOWCODE"

.proc _getkey
sta ENABLE_ROM
@lp:
;inc $0C00
jsr $ffe4 ;Call the getin kernal routine to
;lda #$E4

;get the key-press.

beq @lp
ldx #0 ;Clear MSB because I keep seeing
;this done in cc65's source code.
;sta $C00
sta ENABLE_RAM
rts ;Return.
.endproc
------------------

BTW, I'm testing on WinVice 3.0.

 cc65: printtok.c

Hi! I have a code module for cc65 and CBM targets called printtok.c. It is a way to compress strings slightly using tokenization. It contains a function to print strings that contain embedded tokens and expand the tokens. You can find it at https://sourceforge.net/projects/cc65extra/files/ui/. I ask you to try it out and tell me what you think.
