Post subject:  RS loader screen not 2nd processor compatable.

I was having a look at one of our new freeware games, and noticed the retrosoftware loader screen doesn't work with 6502 second processors in BeebEm. Not able to test it on the real hardware at the moment *glares at broken circuitry*, but from looking at the code it wouldn't work on anyway.

Anyway I've been working on making Adventurescape V second processor compatible, I mean so graphics screens can be loaded.

So can someone please fix (or show me how to) the relocator(s) in this code ?

The loader screen itself is 2P compatible but, like you say, the relocator in the BASIC program isn't.

To get it working on a 2P just keep the two parts separate instead of merging the screen into the BASIC program.

Create your screen as usual with the config program, then write a BASIC loader like this:

Code:
10 *EXEC
20 *FX229,1
30 HIMEM=&5800
40 */SCREEN
50 I%=INKEY(500):PRINT"Loading";
60 */GAME

The screen will then load and run in the IO processor.
