Experiments in 2 Simultaneous Mini Kernels

[+Gemintronic]

So, I've at least made a running mock up screen using two mini kernels (6lives statusbar and bitmap)

 

I modified std_kernel.asm from

 

     ifconst minikernel
         jsr minikernel
     endif

to

     ifconst minikernel
         jsr minikernel
         jsr minikernelb
     endif

 

and then modified the second mini kernel label (in this case bitmap_mk.asm)

 

minikernel

to

minikernelb

 

Probably have to be REAL careful to not go over cycle but this seems to work.  If it shouldn't or there's a better way please post it here

I have no reccomendations since this goes over my head, but wow!

 

I feel like of any console the 2690 got pushed the most. Like, it’s insane.
