The console of YACE64 has six virtual consoles for different purposes.
They work a little like the C64 basic editor - you can navigate everywhere on
the screen and hitting "Return" will execute the command in the current line.
So working is much easier as with a pure command line.
The "Insert" key lets you toggle insert/override mode. Text can be selected with
the mouse and copied with Ctrl+C and inserted with Ctrl+V,
Each virtual console persists its state when switching between them with the function keys:
F1 | General purpose console, mainly for quick help |
F2 | Console to control the C64 |
F3 | Console to control the 1541 drive 8 |
F4 | Console to control the 1541 drive 9 |
F5 | The Tracing Console |
F6 | The Debug Console |
The C64 and 1541 consoles can also be accessed remote via telnet.
Here the function of the first four consoles are described:
Every command executes on a given context - this is the device (C64, 1541-8, 1541-9).
The context is shown in the prompt:
C> | Command will work on the C64 |
8> | Command will work on floppy disc drive 8 |
9> | Command will work on floppy disc drive 9 |
The following will list the RAM memory for the C64:
C> ML RAM $0000 16
ms $0000 $ff $ff $00 $aa $b1 $91 $b3 $22 $00 $00 $00 $4c $00 $00 $00 $04
The next will list the RAM memory of the 1541 device 8:
8> ML RAM $0000 16
ms $0000 $0f $01 $01 $0f $01 $00 $00 $00 $09 $05 $09 $11 $12 $00 $12 $00
You can get help with the "H" or "?" command. Without any parameter "H" will
list all available command with a short description.
Enter "H" followed with the command will give an extend help for this command.
(E.g. "? ms")
The "CALL" command lets you execute commands in a text file. The commands are
then executed in the context of the CALL command.
So it is a good idear to prefix each command line in the textfile with the
target context.
For a detailed help call "H <command>" or see the Command Reference
