Recommend a good C64 memory map book?

[+JohnnyRockets]

Is "The Master Memory Map For The Commodore 64" a good/best one?

 

Thx!

i just use the C64 Programmer's Reference Guide...

[adam242]

Compute!'s 'Mapping the 64' is pretty decent.

Thanks guys!

 

I will check those out!

 

Turns out the only actual "print" book I have, "Machine Language For Beginners" has it too.

 

Thanks again.

What level of knowledge you have of 6502 in general and the C64 hardware and OS can also be a deciding factor.

 

You can know the machine backwards but nobody can be expected to remember the variable/register names and locations so as a minimum the quick reference sections/sheets are useful to everyone.

 

The C= PRG is useful but doesn't go too in depth with the hardware and doesn't have any of the modern day tricks.

 

The C= hacking notes are a worthwhile read, they have lots of articles on most of the hardware exploits. Here's a zip archive, Notepad probably won't show them properly, use Wordpad or a WP that handles different formats. There's 21 of them, I don't know if any new ones have come out since I got them.

There's also a whole bunch of Commodore books that you can download here http://www.bombjack.org/commodore/books.htm

Thanks Rybags!

 

Yeah, my knowledge is way low... but I am having fun a long the way!

 

Just learning now how to use DASM/Crimson Editor/Vice together and have started to "dabble" with examples from some books.

 

Thanks for the ZIP file, I'll definitely check it out!

Hi Fratzengeballer!

 

Thanks for this great resource!

 

I seems that the C64 was quite popular in Germany as well as the States. I see quite a bit of good information on the C64 that appears to come or reside in Germany.

Strange: How come there is no silly comment yet on "Somebody asking for a C64 book in an Atari 8-bit forum" ?

[+JohnnyRockets]

Good point JAC!

 

My mistake! I guess everyone here goes pretty easy on each other???

 

Sorry everyone! Still a bit of a rookie! No excuse really.

Please, somebody move this post, so we can all rest a bit easier...

No problem, really. There are several of us here who are "closet 64" users and who appreciate the uniqueness of both systems.

Thanks Larry!

The XL vs. C64 battles were fun when we were young, reckless and without a clue.

 

Things have changed once we were older, reckless and without a clue.

No, this belongs in 'Classic Computing', please move.
