# Mega-Attract-Mode configuration file

# Mega-Attract-Mode is split into modules. Each module can be a
# short slideshow or a self-running demo (like a game's built-in
# 'attract mode'). Modules are run in the order listed here, one
# after the next, until interrupted by user input. The last-run
# module is tracked in the master prefs file.

# Format:
# key=value

# value must be one of
#   1 for HGR slideshow (key is a file containing a list of HGR graphics)

#   3 for self-running demo (key is an executable binary file)
#
# Blank lines and lines beginning with '#' are ignored (like this one!)

 $53A4 is (very near to) the start of the attract mode cycle.
+$54AA is at the very end of the attract mode cycle (it jumps back to $53A4) but there are only 3 bytes available.

 $4072 is immediately after it detects a keypress (space only!)
 And $4065 is the code that detects the keypress in case we want to expand it to any key.
