yewtube?

is that 4chan-slang for jew tube? replace the prefix "yew" with "you" and avoid that potential trap.

 

As a kid, I loved the in-detail descriptions of technology. So maybe more of that, how the CPU works. Like actually go into detail.

So its just better to think of "files" as blocks of RAM frozen on disk, that can be thawed and moved back into RAM.. Somehow I really like this idea LOL ?

Edit: I mean, basically they are memory-dumps.

Whoaaa... I just read through the C64 DOS commands, and the KERNAL API, and it seems it does not have a concept of a file seek position..? Weird!

One always has to load/save an entire file??

The code that checks if it is in ROM or RAM is <blockquote class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote=""> <div class="ipsQuote_citation"> Quote </div> <div class="ipsQuote_contents"> cmp #$c0 bcc jsrfar1 </div> </blockquote> It adds maybe half a microsecond (or something) to the time it takes to run it. (Edit:...

jsrfar seems to be written as a universal JSR-function. If you don't need all the bells and whistles it provides, you can write your own tailored version. jsrfar seems to work even if the caller is in ROM, which is cool. <em>Your code is like 4 times faster than using jsrfar, judging just by the le...

Can you provide a complete code sample that shows this behavior plz?

(Use the forum quote-function to get it somewhat pretty)
