Question about where to put a command....(2600)

[Cassidy Nolen]

Hi all,

 

I am planning on inserting a start up screen on a 2K game for the 2600. I have the start up screen I want (I did not write it), its also a 2K "game"(does not do anything, just moves the words) and I will be putting both of them together on a single 4K eprom. What I would like to do is insert a command that the machine starts with the words on the screen program until the select switch is hit and it then jumps to the beginning line of the second program. Could anyone advise me on the following:

 

Where I can insert the check for select switch?

Where I am "jumping" to? (start point of program)

Any odd things I am going to run into?'

 

Yes, I am totally over my head, but this is something I would really like to try. I have a copy of the Magicard booklet to go by for address locations of the switches, just not sure where to put things. Thanks,

 

Cassidy
