itaych Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hi, I'd like to run Atari BASIC on a 48K 800 machine, however the original BASIC cartridge is lost so I'm looking for a way to convert the 8K ROM file to an executable. It should be as easy as adding a binary load header to the raw data (to make it load from $a000-$c000) - would that be enough? Should the run address be set to $a000 or somewhere else? Is there any initialization code I'd need to add? Would BASIC Rev. C work on an 800 or must I use Rev. A? Does anyone have such an executable ready, so as to save me the effort of doing it myself? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Somewhere on this forum Larry posted BasicA, BasicB, and BasicC as binary files. I'm not sure where in memory they load. I'm not behind my atari right now, but I'm sure the files are on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
