cc65 now has builtin support for 5200

[sanny]

I've added a 'atari5200' target to cc65, compile/assemble/link with '-t atari5200' parameter to create a cartridge image.

 

Feedback is welcome.

Thanks Chris - looks interesting. I used cc65 for some Lynx homebrew projects, will give you some feedback if I get a chance to mess with a 5200 project (maybe make a simple 5200 lib?)

Spent some hours writing a "hello world" for cc65/Atari5200, based on Dan Boris' 52hello.txt ( http://www.atarihq.com/danb/files/52hello.txt ).

 

Only problems encountered:

1. Setting the "CARTYEAR" in atari5200.cfg seemed to have no effect in the binary produced. (Always seemed to have 0x59 in the output binary).

2. Some expressions did not work (eg: "POKE(0x1200 + i, text1 - 0x20);", which compiles but the output code does not do what you want).

 

Attached is the "hello world" source code and binary.
