Peeks/Pokes/Calls for BASIC 10

Not the answer for the question above but I think this would be the ideal place for collection various peeks / pokes for BASIC 10, wouldn´t it?

First of all, I found POKE 0,65 puts the system to 40Mhz mode but how to set the other modes ?

In BASIC 10 you switch to 1 MHz mode with the command SLOW and to 3.5 MHz mode with FAST.

BASIC 10 know nothing about the 40 MHz of the MEGA65. That's why the POKE 0,65 is used for switching to 40 MHz. As long as you are in this 40 MHz mode, SLOW and FAST have no effect.

POKE 0,64 switches back to the "C65 modes". There you can switch to 1 and 3.5 MHz with the commands SLOW and FAST again.

Just for info: In the advanced BASIC 10, the BASIC 65 which will be delivered with the MEGA65 there is a new command SPEED with parameter 1,3 and 40 to selected the speed mode and a RSPEED(0) for reading the currect speed mode.

And is there a way to get into 40 columns mode from basic (normaly it's ESC - X) ?

In BASIC 10 there is no command to switch into the 40 col mode. Switching between 40 and 80 col mode is done with PRINT CHR$(27)"X".

If you want to know in which col mode you currently are, you can use the function RWINDOW(1). It gets the maximum col number you can use in the current mode. This means that PRINT RWINDOW(1) gets 39 for the 40 col mode and 79 for the 80 col mode as result.

Here is a example BASIC 10 line which show you the current column mode:

Thanks, didn't even know the escape sequences work in basic too Never too old to learn new things

If you prefer "nostalgic" SYS calls, you can also use SYS 65381 for toggle the 40/80 column mode.

i also would recommend the MEGA65 User manual.
There you'll find all registers for the VIC-III and the (MEGA65s) VIC-IV
