he forgot to mention that it can automatically unarchive all the basic subroutines that your program needs.

sound good. does it work fine with xlib tho?

elfprince13 · « **Reply #34 on:** December 10, 2006, 03:24:00 pm »

Im not sure, has tr1p1ea posted information about what areas of SafeRAM xlib uses? Kerm's posted the ones for DCS on the wiki...

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #35 on:** December 10, 2006, 04:02:00 pm »

no clue, he didnt posted about them, all i know is that it use mirageOs ones

elfprince13 · « **Reply #36 on:** December 10, 2006, 04:09:00 pm »

hmmmm....I dont think DCS saves anything in saferam while a Basic program is running (except some stuff about writeback), so it *should* be fine, Im not sure though so you may wish to test it in PTI or TilEm first....

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #37 on:** December 10, 2006, 04:12:00 pm »

yeah i gotta test with a game like metroid of smsd. i fear stuff could happen with the tilemap engine

I have a habit of using SMC, and I'd prefer having the program always start in the default state ^^

Mmm, it's good programming practice to initialize SMC areas anyway...

what does smc stand for?

elfprince13 · « **Reply #40 on:** December 10, 2006, 04:39:00 pm »

self modifying code, usually most feasible in Assembly languages, and interpreted scripting languages that have file read/write capabilites.

KermMartian · « **Reply #41 on:** December 11, 2006, 02:21:00 am »

Basically you use some parts of your code to write bytes into other areas of your code that eventually get interpreted as commands.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #42 on:** December 11, 2006, 02:22:00 am »

yeah i remember about self modifying code, it doesnt work if writeback is disabled tho, right?

KermMartian · « **Reply #43 on:** December 11, 2006, 04:06:00 am »

Generally true, especially if you're using SMC to store things like preferences, the player's name, or highscores.

My fav is crunchy, i have 45 games on my calc so its a pain to scrool to Ztris in MOS(especially when i took all of math to arrange everything into alphabetical folders and i added a game it it reset it all) ill give DCS a run when it comes out tho
