Spectrum patch file format   Message List  
Reply Message #5870 of 6631 |
Is there a prefered file format for JSW (or generic Spectrum)
patches? A single set of contigous POKEs could be done as a simple
CODE file of the memory contents to change. However, what about
noncontigous blocks? If, for example, the patch it to change
&8290, &8340, &8555, &8556 is there a prefered file format to hold
this information rather than having four very short CODE files?
And how would you know you needed to load four?
