Oh yes, most definitely. A port of this nature would take into account

Is there a list somewhere of the games that run on the 200? I know about

I know; the point I was getting at was that the image you sent out the first
time was only 28k and while it sounds like Josh got a memory size mismatch
error when he tried to load it in his REX (which I'm assuming is a REX
classic), I was ab

This time the .BY file attached is 32kb. (it also compares cleanly against the

Josh,
The first six bytes of any .CO file has the load, length, and exe address
in 16-bit addresses.
But beyond that, you can actually load the .CO file into your file system,
and attempt a LOADM"ASTRO.CO". It will give you an ?OM Error, but it will
at least show you those three values that I ju

I'm really curious how the EXE address is determined. But, yeah - that
works as long as you keep the "loader" from clearing it.

Excellent! I had to make my own image (yours had mismatched memory size)
but it works. I modified the load afterwards to CALL47104 instead of
RUNM so now I have a menu entry for it in that image.
Thanks!
How did you come up with that entry point of 47104? That's the/a part that
I missed.
-Josh
yep I have an image.
just load the entire image and
Call 47104

I think if you modified the loader;
from this
50 RUNM"0:ASTRO.CO"
60 CLEAR 256,MAXRAM:MENU
to this
50 LOADM"0:ASTRO.CO"
60 end
combined with the knowledge of the exe location, it might work.
save that image immediately after the loader quits.

Well, I tried saving the memory from VT into a file, then loading that into
REX as a RAM image. I get that far, but after restoring the RAM image, the
system reboots to the menu. I need to somehow make it jump into the game.
I'm nowhere near sophisticated enough to manage that, though. :(
On Tue,
that seems like a good challenge. create a rex image that auto-starts

It actually plays pretty well on real hardware. I'm surprised it was never
released by any other means than buying a Booster Pak, they could probably
have made $20-$30/ea off the game way back then.
