It's not that much shorter if you add in an OS version check. I doubt the getHardwareVersion call exists on pre-1.13.

It's a B_CALL to the boot code, so it should exist on every OS with boot code. In other words, every OS. ;)

Request: OS version check (Would be cool for my very old fake RAM clear program xD)
EDIT: Was this program, sucks abit:
Also the text is indeed a bit off. O.o (

Nice, although I think the text is a bit off, though, and there are two black squares at the end of the screenshot. It might be nice if it could be implemented as fake reset in a game :P

OS version check? Really? Molest me not with this pocket calculator---er . . . well anyway, EF6F4C6768 will return the major version number in the high byte and the minor version number in the low byte. So divide by 256 to get the high byte and do "and 255" to get the low byte. In theory, "or 0" should also work, assuming that doing an 8-bit logical operation implicitly strips the high octet.

erm, cant you just do (ASM code)->A then do A->{L1}r ?

Sure. You could then read the major version in {L1+1} and the minor version number in {L1}. In fact, Asm(EF6F4C6768)->{L1}r will work.

He is a routine that Mighty Moose and me made, it allows you to copy data from flash to ram (it uses flashtoram):

Code: [Select]
Getcalc(<your var in flash>,Yx)
{°Yx}r->H
{°Yx+2}->A
<Number of bytes to copy>->B
<Your pointer in RAM>->D

Nice, I don't really understand how it works, but nice :D

Well, iirc, you can just do this, since it is valid to use Page-pointer varsity in a Copy instruction:

Code: [Select]
Getcalc(YourVar,Yx)
Copy(Yx,RAMptr,amount)
I thnk I used that for TaNF, it's very useful if you want to keep tons of data in Archive but be able to access little parts quickly when needed.

Does it work when there's a page break?

I don't really understand this, but does Frash/Mighty's work when there's a page break? I really don't understand these routines :P

For copying data from archive to RAM, you want to use Axe's built-in Copy() command. It's smaller, easier to use, and handles page boundaries better. They both handle boundary crossing during copying correctly, but only Axe's built-in command handles boundary crossing before copying correctly. Like:

Copy(Y₁+16384,L₁,256)

Here's a routine I made to clear a 6*6 square on both buffers.  I believe it's fairly optimized and much more elegant than the equivalent Pt-On(r1,r2,[FCFCFCFCFCFC0000]) / Pt-Change(r1,r2,[FCFCFCFCFCFC0000]).  With slight modification this could even be used for other sprite sizes like 5*5 and 12*12.

Here it is:
Code: [Select]
:Lbl CLR
:.Clear a 6*6 spot on both buffers
:.r1 is the X coordinate and r2 is the Y coordinate
:r1^8
:Asm(450421FF07B7CB1CCB1D10FA)→r3
:...
:  ld b, l
:  ld hl, 0000011111111111b
:  or a
:loop:
:  rr h
:  rr l
:  djnz loop
:...
:r1/8+(r2*12)→r5
:For(r4,0,5)
:{r4*12+r5→r6+L6}rr∙r3→{r6+L6}rr
:{r6+L3}rr∙r3→{r6+L3}rr
:End
:Return

What not to do with my routine:
It doesn't clip, so don't pass it any arguments that will make it go off the bottom of the screen.  This includes even the very bottom corner, as it'll still overwrite one byte. :-\  However, it's quicker not to clip so that's why I wrote it this way.

Enjoy! ;D

P.S.  Thanks to Eeems and Runer for helping with small clarifications throughout my coding. :)

You can always use a single Pt-Mask() to write a white square to both buffers.  Not sure if yours is faster than that or not, but its possible due to the lack of clipping and argument checking.
