|
# Not all games are good candidates. Some have no demo mode at all. Others
|
|
|
|
|
# technically have one but it's visually uninteresting or too short. Still
|
|
|
|
|
# others are ruled out by technical constraints. Due to the architecture of
|
|
|
|
|
# the launcher, all self-running demos must run entirely in main memory.

# We have enough disk space that we don't worry too much about it. (Wow.)
|
|
|
|
|
# Generally we start with an uncompressed ProDOS port of the entire game
|
|
|
|
|
# and whittle it down to just the files it needs for its demo mode, then
|
|
|
|
|
# apply patches so that it

# - returns control after the natural end of the demo cycle
|
|
|
|
|
# - returns control on any keypress
|
|
|
|
|
# - returns control on any button press (note: some games don't support
|
|
|
|
|
# joystick buttons at all, and we don't add button support, but if you
|
|
|
|
|
# can start the game by pressing a button, we need to ensure that that
|
|
|
|
|
# returns control instead)
|
|
|
|
|
# - disables all sound output
|
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
|
# 'Returning control' involves activating RAM bank 1 read access and

|
|
|
# jumping indirectly to ($FFFC), which points to the routine labeled as
|
|
|
|
|
# |Reenter| in the source code. The launcher puts this code at $0100 before
|
|
|
|
|
# executing a self-running demo, so generally you can just put 'JMP $0100'
|
|
|
|
|
# anywhere you can find 3 bytes. If a particular game overwrites this area
|
|
|
|
|
# of the stack page, you will need to find 6 bytes for the instructions
|
|
|
|
|
# 'LDA $C088 / JMP ($FFFC)' yourself.
