I've been studying the VIC-II datasheet and how the C64 initializes it when booting. The only thing I've seen while booting is LDX $#FF [...] STX $D016 that I think is a kind of "enable 40 columns text mode". Then, I think that things like the base memory address and foreground and back colours are also needed to be set, and that's it, isn't it? Because once set, the VIC-II just reads memory and renders the data it finds there, leaving up to the KERNAL, BASIC or whatever is running in the machine to generate that data. What do you think? -- Sent from: http://cbm-hackers.2304266.n4.nabble.com/Received on 2021-05-29 20:03:03
