GRAB memory

Post by Xeron »

If I have a machine code program in a .tap file, can I load right up to 0xA000 without issue, or would the user need to GRAB first? I assume since it's not BASIC it should be fine to just load right up to a000?

@Xeron: No problem at all :).
GRAB (or equivalent POKE's) is only needed if BASIC code will be used.

I can confirm, no problem at all, you can even overwrite the charsets, the video memory, etc... starting from $400 to $bfff
