Re: A83: Using Interups, and strings
Yes, the problem comes from relocation of the code...
in your code text1, is just a name for the address Pointer of the string (eg
$9dAA) so when you copy your code for interrupt to another location,
probably $9a9a (i'll use this in the example) so text1 = $9daa but the what
it should be to really point the string, it should be relative to $9a9a...
IntStart:
ld hl,text1-intstart+$9a9a ; Make it relative to 9a9a (text1-intstart makes
it relative to intstart, and then add the 9a9a offset...)
bcall(_puts)
text1: .db "Sample String",0
Then another note:
using B_CALLing in an interrupt isn't bad, it doesn't leave the rom page
switched, this can be proven just by saying that if it didn't restore the
original rom page, even APPs would not be working...
Someone please confirm this.... I hope you understand what I mean...
