Introduction

Wanting to start sizecoding on a 6502 platform in this day and age can be tough.

6502.jpg

So here is a bit of help to get you started:

The 6502 processor

The 6502 processor can be seen as the 8bit micro ARM chip. It has only has 3 registers (Accumilator, IX and IY registers) and only a handful of instructions to work with.

Adressing modes

To be added.

Zero page

When using the 6502 for sizecoding, you'll mostly be working from zeropage

Atari 8bit family

The Atari XE/XL systems consists of the 6502 with custom hardware for graphics and sound.

Setting up

Setting up your development platform for the Atari 8bit systems is quite easy, first get the following tools:

  • Assembler: MADS Assembler - This assembler has nice macros for creating Binaries and SNA snapshot files out of the box. You can download it at https://mads.atari8.info/
  • Emulator(s): I Found Altirra to work best for my usecase. Make sure to use the original Rev2 rom for best compatibility.

Special Memory Adresses

  • FRAMECOUNTER_HIGH = 19
  • FRAMECOUNTER_LOW = 20

Video display

Video display on the Atari 8bit systems use the TIA chip, it has the following video modes:

Commodore 64

The Commodore systems consists of the 6502 with custom hardware for graphics and sound.

Setting up

Setting up your development platform for the Commodore systems is quite easy, first get the following tools:

  • Assembler: To be added
  • Emulator(s): VICE is the way to go

Autoboot

*=$0326
        .word start              
        .byte $ed,$f6
start
; rest of code

Will give you autoboot and more space directly. (though writing through to $0400 will load it onto the screen unless you move the pointers)

Video display

Video display on the Commodore, it has the following video modes:

Sound

The Commodore 64 uses the famous SID chip to generate sound. To be added soon.

Apple II

The Apple II is an 8-bit home computer and one of the world's first highly successful mass-produced microcomputer products. It was designed primarily by Steve Wozniak.

Setting up

Compilation can be done as follows (master.dsk can be found with applewin) 

acme hl.asm
java -jar AppleCommander-1.3.5.jar -d master.dsk hl
java -jar AppleCommander-1.3.5.jar -p master.dsk hl B 24576 < hl.bin

Graphics Modes

Text Mode 40x24, for Apple IIe available 80x25 - use PR#3 for switch mode, or hardware switch
LowRes 40x48, 16 colors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_II_graphics
Hires mode 280x192,6 colors: https://www.xtof.info/blog/?p=768

https://mrob.com/pub/xapple2/colors.html https://archive.org/details/HiRes_Color_Graphics_on_the_Apple_II_Computer_by_Wozniak

However for sizecoding, you almost never want to do direct-access to graphics for Apple II in size-coding because the Apple II graphics modes are horrible. The only fast way to do things is with large lookup tables. To do hires you need to divide by 7 which as you can imagine is a bit difficult to do compactly on 6502. Double-hires is even crazier on top of that. Deater did manage a color-bar style effect in double-hires in 128B but that was doing some crazy tricks with the firmware BASIC routines, definitely not direct-access.

Lores and Hires can be mixed modes and full-graphics The screen structure is called memory holes(https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/2534/what-are-the-screen-holes-in-apple-ii-graphics). The GBASCALC($F847) procedure is used to calculate the address of the horizontal line : IN:reg.A=Y, out : GBASL/GBASH($26/$27)=address.

Getting something on screen

Here is an example of a XOR texture, created by g0blinish 

 *=$6000
 !to "HL.bin", plain	; set output file and format
 !cpu 6502		; set processor type

GBASL	=	$26
GBASH	=	$27
SETGR    =     $FB40 ; setup LoRes
GBASCALC = $F847 ; calc Address

CLRTEXT =  $C050 ;display graphics 
SETTEXT =  $C051 ;display text 

CLRMIXED = $C052 ;clear mixed mode- enable full graphics 
SETMIXED = $C053 ;enable graphics/text mixed mode 

PAGE1 =    $C054 ;select text/graphics page1 
PAGE2 =    $C055 ;select text/graphics page2 

CLRHIRES = $C056 ;select Lo-res 
SETHIRES = $C057 ;select Hi-res 

TMP= $FA

	JSR   SETGR      ;GR
	BIT CLRMIXED ; full screen

	LDA #0 ; A=0
	STA TMP ; POKE $FA,A

YLP ;
	LDA TMP ; A=PEEK($FA)
;	LSR ; A=A/2
	JSR GBASCALC
	LDY #0;Y=0

XLP TYA ; A=Y
	EOR TMP ; A=A xor PEEK($FA)
	and #$0F ; A=A and 15
	TAX ; X=A
	LDA COLORS,X ;A=PEEK(COLORS+X)
	STA(GBASL),Y ; POKE PEEK($26)+256*PEEK($27)+Y,A
	INY ; Y=Y+1
	CPY #40 ; Y=40?
	BNE XLP
	INC TMP ; POKE $FA,PEEK($FA)+1
	LDA TMP ; A=PEEK($FA)
	CMP #24 ; A=24?
	BNE YLP
	
M1 JMP M1 ; replace to RTS

COLORS ;N*17, pixel format is AAAABBBB, AAAA - upper dot, BBBB - lower dot
!byte $00,$11,$22,$33,$44,$55,$66,$77
!byte $88,$99,$AA,$BB,$CC,$DD,$EE,$FF

Sound

Here is an example for using the speaker, based onthe following basic program: 

; 50  POKE 768,V: POKE 769,P - 255 *  INT (P / 256): POKE 800,1 + P / 256
; 60  CALL 770: RETURN 
; 95  FOR K = 1 TO N: READ V(K),P(K): NEXT K
; 100  FOR K = 1 TO N:V = V(K):P = P(K)
; 110  GOSUB 50
;!byte 173,48,192,136,208,5,206,1,3,240,9,202,208,245,174,0,3,76,2,3,206,32,3,208,240,96

 *=$6000
 !to "HL.bin", plain	; set output file and format
 !cpu 6502		; set processor type

;start
; 95  FOR K = 1 TO N: READ V(K),P(K): NEXT K
; 100  FOR K = 1 TO N:V = V(K):P = P(K)
