The Bios Game Select Routine

Talk about programming CreatiVision (except games programming). Projects of homebrew hardware are also welcome.

The Bios Game Select Routine

Post by Mobsie » Wed Oct 09, 2013 10:20 am

Another interesting Bios routine is the "Game Select" routine. It handle the complete input and print for you. One of the parameter is at $BFED, is the number of levels.
You call the routine with jsr $FE83 in your loop. You can also define the places where the informations will displayed. I checked 5 games and all use this routine.
Of course you can not use it in Mode2, but for most normal projects is useful.

Cool set of routines, it seems the BIOS contains more useful code than I had anticipated.
