Aaaaah my bad, that should be fixed now.

I've been committing regularly to a local branch and as you have noticed been completely slack in updating my remote repo and the main repo. Honestly the reason was that there didn't seem too be much interest in the compiler until Delpozzo and yourself came along, so I had resigned myself to just po...

Hi, just a quick reply. Item 1 makes sense after spending a few hours browsing code. _arrayStart_ was added to in one of the latest versions, right? v0.9.9 vorks with _runtimeStat_ only. Yup, also the pragma is _arraysStart_, note the plural arrays, the compiler should warn you about the incorrect ...

Hehe I just happened to scan the website when you posted. 1: You need to specify the "_arraysStart_" pragma as well as "_runtimeStart_", this allows the programmer to confine arrays in the bottom half of a 64K system so that code/images/midi/etc has full access to the much more e...

Yup, that's all you need to do. Per Marcel's convention, throw a "64K" somewhere into the name so that they know why it will crash on a standard 32K Gigatron. Single dimensioned arrays use sequential memory, (non segmented), the largest sequential area of RAM is 512 bytes on a 32K system, ...

If you would like to do a pull request on the main repo here at https://github.com/kervinck/gigatron-rom by adding your own user directory under Contrib: e.g. https://github.com/kervinck/gigatron-rom/Contrib/johnm60 If you do decide to do a pull request please make sure you ...

Seasons greetings everyone.

To continue what Marcel started for 2019, I present Merry Christmas 2020; maybe we could turn this into some sort of tradition.

Requires ROMv3 or later:

It's non trivial to build a new ROM without the applications because you have to modify a number of *.gcl files that are hard coded to the applications themselves present within the ROM, as well as wrapping your head around how the build system works. But it's not all that difficult once you figure ...
