fultonbot Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 For the hell of it, I tried 32KRAM as configuration in 7800 Basic, and it works, but is it valid? If so, is all 32K ROM available to use at the same time? Why 32K? I'm interested to see what kind of game can be made with the limitations in 1984. The RAM is just in case I need more display object per zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Sure, it's a valid format. The ROM in 32k+ram is the same as plain old 32k format. (i.e. no banking required) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
