Re: Fast or direct load from disk.

Hello all,

I am looking for any code or suggestions on how to load a single
binary to a specific address and execute it directly from disk
(booting required) without DOS or ProDOS loading first.

I've seen some games load very fast.  Is there a general method for
doing this floating around?

Thanks.

I believe you can put a binary on track 0 sector 0 and it will load to $800 upon booting the disk. It will then jump to $801 and execute the code. The byte at $800 tells the boot code how many sectors to load up to 16, I think.
No DOS is involved.
