Hi good afternoon.

I can't load a bin file.
What kind of address does this store have to have in the bin?
Pal files can be loaded.

does a head have to go there please?

pal :
00 00 FF 0F 08 00 FA 0E 4C 0C C0 05 00 0A EE 07.......

bin:
3C 66 6E 6E 60 62 3C 00 00 00 3C 06 3E 66 3E 00

Thanks.

In BASIC you have LOAD (Skips first 2 bytes, uses them as Load Address) BLOAD (Does Not Skip the first 2 bytes, Address is specified in the Command).

At the ROM level they both call load.

The behaviour is determined by the .Y value in the previous call to SETLFS

0 - LOAD Uses .X, .Y address, skips first 2 bytes
1- LOAD Uses first 2 bytes in the file as the LOAD address, Does not load them
2- LOAD Loads entire File to the address in .X, .Y (BLOAD behavior)

THIS is in the SETLFS call prior to LOAD. Not the call to LOAD.
