Output Formats
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
`sixtypical` can generate an output file in a number of formats.
|
|
|
|
### `raw`
|
|
|
|
The file contains only the emitted bytes of the compiled SixtyPical
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
The default origin is $0000; you will likely want to override this.
|
|
|
|
Note that the origin is not stored in the output file in this format;
|
|
that information must be recorded separately.
|
|
|
|
### `prg`
|
|
|
|
The first two bytes of the file contain the origin address in
|
|
little-endian format. The remainder of the file is the emitted bytes
|
|
of the compiled SixtyPical program, starting at that origin.
|
|
|
|
The default origin is $C000; you will likely want override this.
|
|
|
|
This format coincides with Commodore's PRG format for disk files,
|
|
thus its name.
|
|
|
|
### `c64-basic-prg`
|
|
|
|
The first few bytes of the file contain a short Commodore 2.0 BASIC
|
|
program. Directly after this is the emitted bytes of the compiled
|
|
SixtyPical program. The BASIC program contains a `SYS` to that code.
|
|
|
|
The default origin is $0801; it is unlikely that you will want to
|
|
override this.
|
|
|
|
This format allows the PRG file to be loaded and run on a Commodore 64
|
|
with
|
|
|
|
LOAD"FOO.PRG",8:RUN
|
|
|
|
### `vic20-basic-prg`
|
|
|
|
Exactly like `--c64-basic-prg` except intended for the Commodore VIC-20.
|
|
|
|
The default origin is $1001; it is unlikely that you will want to
|
|
override this.
|
|
|
|
This format allows the PRG file to be loaded and run on a VIC-20 with
|
|
|
|
LOAD"FOO.PRG",8:RUN
|
|
|
|
### `atari2600-cart`
|
|
|
|
The file starts with a short machine-language prelude which is intended
|
|
to initialize an Atari 2600 system, followed by the emitted bytes of the
|
|
compiled SixtyPical program.
|
|
|
|
The file is padded to 4096 bytes in length. The padding is mostly
|
|
zeroes, except for the final 4 bytes of the file, which consist of
|
|
two addresses in little-endian format; both are the origin address.
|
|
|
|
The default origin is $F000; it is unlikely you will want to
|
|
override this.
|
|
|
|
This is the format used by Atari 2600 cartridges.
