Wanted: prodos prog selector2run dos3.3games
you all prolly know about the prodos program selector that will run .sys
files at $2000. the code is less than a k and resides in some
out-of-the-way place in memory. what i want is something exactly like
that, perhaps a prodos .sys file itself that relocates to some obscure
position in memory.. the one difference:
it will run any binary file at its native location.
here's the deal:
many old DOS 3.3 games will run under prodos, provided they don't run out
of buffer space while loading, and this happens a lot when run from
basic.system. but if we're just running a program selector there'll be
more memory available to load the program yes?
perhaps someone knows simply how to patch the prodos file selector so that
it will load the program at its native location instead of $2000?
thanks for all help!
