I have a Sinclair BASIC loader for my game which will CLEAR 32767, load a SCREEN$, LOAD ""CODE, and finally RANDOMIZE USR 32678. I have assembled the loader and the SCREEN$ into a TAP file - but how to I get zxbc.py to append its output to this TAP file? I can't seem to get it to work.
When I try:
I get a file arti12.tap as expected but it doesn't load the machine code. If I browse the TAP file in Fuse emulator I see that zxbc.py appears to have prepended an additional self-contained TAP file into the loader TAP file, rather than appended the binary data. Am I doing this wrong, or is this a bug?
I have managed to work around the issue by producing a .bin file instead, and then Fuse's 'Import Binary Data' option and then saving the memory range back out to the mounted TAP file - but it would be much nicer to automate that with zxbc.py if possible.
Thanks
