If I can rejig things so that beyond IPL, 5000-53FF isn't needed - and in the crack in question, very little is - I can use that for ProDOS' 1K buffer, perhaps?You'll have to swap it in and out, just like the game does, because it's used to hold the graphics, too.
Naturally.Hopefully I can free up some of the other space though - so ProDOS doesn't get too ticked. Plus, I'll need to write the IPL (.system file) of course.
Moving stuff off text memory would, at least, allow me to use 2000-3FFF as a temporary buffer - the size of a temp buffer is important when A000-BFFF gets repeatedly blasted.
