# Runtime Data #
Symbol files and analyzer scripts are split into directories by
platform manufacturer.
The Visual Studio project (RuntimeData.csproj) exists so you can edit
scripts with IntelliSense and error highlighting. Everything here is
distributed as source, not in compiled form; all compilation occurs at
run time.
## SystemDefs.json ##
This file defines the systems available in the "new project" screen.
The following fields are mandatory:
* Name - Short name that identifies the system.
* GroupName - Short string used to group common items together in the UI.
* CPU - Type of CPU used. The string must be part of the known set
(see CpuDef.cs)
* Speed - Clock rate, in MHz, of the CPU on the system. When multiple
speeds are possible, use the most common, favoring NTSC over PAL.
* SymbolFiles - List of platform symbol file identifiers (see below).
* ExtensionScripts - List of extension script file identifiers (see below).
* Parameters - List of optional parameters (see below).
The currently-supported parameters are:
2018-10-09 00:11:03 +00:00
* load-address=<addr> - Specify the initial load address. The default
2018-09-28 17:05:11 +00:00
is 0x1000.
2018-10-09 00:11:03 +00:00
* entry-flags=<flag-set> - Specify the processor status flag values to
2018-09-28 17:05:11 +00:00
use at entry points. This is intended for use on the 65802/65816, and
may be one of "emulation", "native-short", and "native-long". The
default is "emulation".
* undocumented-opcodes={true|false} - Enable or disable undocumented
opcodes. They are disabled by default.
* first-word-is-load-addr={true|false} - If true, the first two bytes of
the file contain the load address.
* default-text-encoding=<mode> - Specify default character encoding.
Use "c64-petscii" for PETSCII. The default is low/high ASCII.

All of these things can be changed after the project has begun, but it's
nice to have them configured in advance.
SymbolFiles and ExtensionScripts use file identifiers, which look like
"RT:Apple/ProDOS8.sym65". The "RT:" means that the file lives in the
RuntimeData directory, and the rest is a partial pathname. Files that
live in the same directory as the project file are prefixed with "PROJ:".
All symbol files and extension scripts must live in the RuntimeData
directory or project file directory, or they will not be loaded.
All "RT:" identifier paths are relative to the RuntimeData directory. The
Group Name is not automatically added.

These are described in the "Advanced Topics" section of the manual
([here](Help/advanced.html)).
