Haha, good catch. Is all of this working now, Eeems?

Lol, yes it's all working great now

Glad to hear it; please continue to post any questions that you may have. I also look forward to a Your Projects topic about this when you're ready.

Project topic is up
I was wondering if anybody could find some optimizations for the code that I posted here: http://ourl.ca/8650
If you can, that would be great thanks

Code:
can instead be: ld hl,(6*256)+6 \ ld (pencol),hl. Saves you 8->6 = 2 bytes. Another thing: ld a,(hl) \ ld b,a can just be ld b,(hl). You can load to a b c d e h l from (hl). That's all I see at a first glance; I'll have to look more tomorrow.

Ah ok, thanks!
Sometimes I forget that x.x I got this weird idea in my head about the privileged a/hl registers early on, and it's hard to relearn >.<

Which weird idea is that? Perhaps you're thinking of de? There's no such thing as ld b,(de), for example, as you probably know.

no it was that anything other then an 8bit register can't load into anything other then a (of the 8bit registers). same with hl, but for 16bit registers

Ah, gotcha. That's not the case, luckily for us and our sanity.

Yeah I know >.<
Hopefully I can break that old habit soon

Ok, so my maps are currently 32*32 tiles big, thus they expand out to 1024 bytes after decompression (I'm using pucrunch for compression). Now I need some place to store the decompressed maps, I know that the biggest saferam is saferam1, but it is only 768 bytes big, what would be my best bet for getting a 1024 chunk of memory? Should I create a temporary appvar or something?

EDIT: So DrDnar suggested on IRC using 8000h (ramdata or appdata, not sure which) and then running bcall 5011h (_FillBasePageTable) before exiting. So far it seems to works, everything runs fine, and when I exit to DCS, no crashes or anything, same with quitting to the homescreen. So I'm pretty sure everything is good

That sounds about right; that's $8000 through $83FF. Glad that's working for you, and I hope it's as non-crashy as you report. I'm not sure what would happen if you call MOS or DCS routines in DCS with that used, though; have you tried?

Most of my non-clipped sprite routines are DCS, but no issue so far

I may have to use this too when I make my smooth scrolling tilemapper Thanks for sharing the method.

Oh goodie. I'd expect iPutSprite and iLargeSprite to behave, since they're Page 0 routines, but I'm a little concerned about other things; hopefully they're ok too. I'll probably have to do some experimentation of my own with the AppBasePage area at some point.

Ah ok. Oh, I use Fastcopys too, still no issues.
What's this tilemapper for player?
