Anyway, if I were to stuff hundreds of kilobytes of code to a C64 cartridge, I wouldn't do it with simple bank-switching; instead, I'd adapt PuCrunch and decompress the "files" from the cartridge to RAM as needed. As a matter of fact, that's what I did with the VIC-20 RAM/ROM cartridge (32k/2M) I'm working on. The software is finished, but the hardware is not. > ofcoz for porting a floppy based game to cart, you could do it this > way (never seen it done though) Have you seen the newer 256k or 512k ROM cartridges? I've heard rumours that they'd use such approach. I haven't disassembled any of those, so I can't say for sure.
