MOS & VDP update walkthrough

• New "flash" tool from envenomator https://github.com/envenomator/agon-flash does both VDP and MOS (!) Easy to up/downgrade
• Shown in this video https://youtu.be/iLz1VUNjSAU

fullkeycode

Below Discussed in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7iilqWDxNE

• Project for use with ZDS II https://www.zilog.com/index.php?option=com_zcm&task=view&soft_id=38&Itemid=74

• based on original https://github.com/envenomator/Agon/tree/master/scratch, it is called "fullkeycode" because I was not able to rename the project....

• Copy the entire folder to your PC

• you may have to adjust the paths in fullkeycode.linkcmd to match the location of your ZDS

• Grab fullkeycode.hex file from Debug folder, then hex2bin, then transfer to your SD card

• https://sourceforge.net/projects/hex2bin/

• I have 3 versions of "main.c" in the folder-01, -02, -03, copy the contents to main.c and Rebuild All

• main-01 = Move an X across the screen with Arrow keys

• main-02 = MOVE a pixel across the screen with Arrow keys AND an X across the screen with ASDW

• main-03 = STARFIELD SIMULATION - THIS IS THE DEFAULT

• note change in mos-keycode.asm = commented out the waitkey so it just loops even with no keypress
