Let's see which one does it first: DCS7 or zStart

Feature Wishlist:
Compatibility of the Homerun hook with Grammer progs (of course if we have the Grammer app).
This would be very great

I was just about to request that as a feature....

The problem is not who does it first, because Xeda can do it by herself. The problem are the conflicts there will be. And as (in my case) I prefer zStart's hooks, I'd like it to run Grammer progs.

If xeda will give me an entry point, I'd be glad to do it.

However, in the grand scheme of things, I'd like to see Grammer get a little bigger before I add support for it. Like I said, I'm pretty low on space and adding in options like this takes a minimum of 100 bytes.

One option that I do like would be to somehow use the "Run on zStart" option to add in a hook to make it work. I don't see that being very difficult.

can we get the ability to auto-set other defaults? Like how imaginary numbers are dealt with?

In the next version, I will add in these entries:
4085h - This will execute the program named in OP1 if it is a Grammer program.
408Bh - This will check if the program named in OP1 is a Grammer program. It loads in a small call at 8101h, too. It returns nz if it isn't a Grammer program, z if it is (it takes care of checking if it is archived or not)
4088h - This will take care of loading the var to RAM if needed, then it will begin interpreting the code.

So it will probably be more useful to do

Code: [Select]

   call 408Bh
   jr nz,NotGrammerProg
     <<Take care of stuff if it needs to be taken care of>>
     jp 4088h
NotGrammerProg:
   <<Rest of code>>

Will this be helpful, or did you mean something else? And are there any other entries I should add?

That looks good to me. I don't even need to 4088h routine. But, the more the merrier I guess.

Cool

Yeah, it happens to be inline, anyway (the code there looks like "call CompatCall \ jp SelectedProg"

If it runs on ram clears, will it clear my ram? Cuz I dont want that

Also, would Dcs7 screw it up?

Run on ram clears means that it will activate its settings/run a program/whatever you want when your ram clears.

Yes, but you can set Doors up not to. Just go to Doors' options and uncheck the "hooks" option. If you don't, it won't cause anything bad to happen, just that some of zstart's features won't work. Oh, and I believe that the statrup picture will never work with Doors because DoorsCS acts stupid.

What do the hooks do?

Hooks in general or DCS' hooks ?

Hooks in general are something that you install "permanently" in your calc (until the next RAM Clear (except if you have zStart (no more parenthesis, I promise))).
DCS' hooks for example allow you to run archived-asm-programs-that-need-a-shell from the homescreen, as if they were unarchived-basic-programs.

I like that feature...

Ill try zStart and see which one I like better

zStart runs the program a lot faster and when quitting, it only writebacks if needed. But it has problems with the "Stop" token in basic.
