  • Properly setting up SEQ files for display in c64-PETSCII access mode

    From Odusseus71@VERT to Digital Man on Sunday, September 29, 2024 00:52:49
    Thank you for the feedback!


    It depends on the editor you're using (how you can enter special characters into the file)

    For inserting the char 142 (or $8E), I used an online HEX editor, and it worked to set upper/graphics at the beginning.

    But, regarding the @pause@ at the end, in order to avoid immediate return to lower charset after image loading is complete:


    Type @pause@ (in uppercase).


    tried with Notepad/Notepad++ but it did not work... it only shows the text "@pause@" in the displayed image.

    Any recommendation for and editor for inserting @-codes in the SEQ file?

    Thank you!

    Any editor should work, but you have to have the word between the @'s in UPPERCASE (all-cap letters). Did you do that?

    Hello Rob,

    yes, I did it by adding 40 50 41 55 53 45 40 hex values for @PAUSE@ at the end of the SEQ file directly in the Hex Editor and it worked!

    Thanks a lot

    Most hex editors still allow text/ASCII input.
