Atari 8-bit programming info?
category: code [glöplog]
Yeah, maybe my google-skills suck, but I haven't been able to find even a simple memory map, or the basic info on memory layouts for different screen modes, or how to set them up etc.
I usually start my coding on a new platform, by something like (C64 code):
you know, just to get the ball rolling...
I'm guessing something similar on an atari 8-bitter would be equally easy, if I just were able to find that memory-map!

BTW, Atari BASIC can be turned off if you hold OPTION while booting
Nice to seem somebody trying to get into Atari coding! You might like my Atari programming IDE. It also includes MADS, which is the most powerful assembler. It come with tons of examples and sample code.
