Sample programs


The directory "64prgs" contains some little sample programs to show the capabilities of Frodo. They are all loaded with LOAD"<name>",8,1 and started with SYS49152. To do so, you have to set "Drive 8" in the settings to "Dir" and set the path to '64prgs' so Frodo will find the programs.

The programs were written by Pasi Ojala, Marko Mäkelä, Andreas Boose and me. If you like, you can try them on other emulators or on a real C64.
