;; This code shows: ;; 1. How to get the current drive number ;; 2. How to initialise the disc rom after loading this file (BASIC will disable all roms, effectively going to ;; cassette mode) ;; 3. How to set the current drive back again ;; 4. Using a list of files, and loading each file one-by-one. When we get to the end of the list ;; going back to the first file again. Good for slideshows ;) ;; ;; This code builds with Pasmo assembler. cas_in_open equ &bc77 cas_in_direct equ &bc83 cas_in_close equ &bc7a kl_rom_walk equ &bccb mc_start_program equ &bd16 loader_load_addr equ &9000 org loader_load_addr start_load: ;; when a binary program is started, all roms are disabled by BASIC ;; get the current drive from AMSDOS's variables ld hl,(&be7d) ld a,(hl) ld (drive+1),a ld c,&ff ;; disable all roms ld hl,start ;; execution address for program jp mc_start_program ;; start it start: ;; now enable all roms (disc rom and other DOSes included) call kl_rom_walk ;; set back the drive drive: ld a,0 ld hl,(&be7d) ld (hl),a ;; load each file and then go back to the start again load_loop: call get_next_filename call load_next_file jp load_loop load_next_file: ld hl,(cur_filename) push hl ;; get length of filename call get_str_len pop hl ld de,&200 ;; load address call load_file ;; here we would so something with file (e.g. display picture on screen) ret ;; get next filename from list and update ;; cur_filename with the address of it ;; if we get to end of list, reset back to start get_next_filename: ld hl,(cur_filename) call get_str_len ld a,(hl) or a jr nz,gnf1 ld hl,filenames gnf1: ld (cur_filename),hl ret ;; Enter: ;; HL = address of string with 0 after ;; Exit: ;; B = length of string get_str_len: ld b,0 gsl1: ld a,(hl) inc hl or a ret z inc b jr gsl1 ;; the address of the current filename cur_filename: defw filenames ;; list of filenames to load ;; 0 indicates end of filename filenames: db "01.scr",0 db "02.scr",0 db "03.scr",0 db "04.scr",0 db "05.scr",0 db "06.scr",0 db "07.scr",0 db "08.scr",0 db "09.scr",0 db "10.scr",0 db "11.scr",0 db "12.scr",0 db "13.scr",0 ;; this 0 indicates end of list defb 0 ;; load a file ;; HL = address of filename ;; B = length ;; DE = load address load_file: push de ld de,&c000 ;; address of 2k buffer, this can be any value if the files ;; that are loaded have a header (e.g. BASIC/BINARY) call cas_in_open pop hl call cas_in_direct jp cas_in_close end
