Load without start

Post by PanzerGeneral »

Can I load program into my C16 without auto start?
I just would like to load it and stay at BASIC.

I understand that it is about preventing the autostart after loading from cassette. This task is not like that simple and without a good knowledge of
assembler is very difficult to implement. The problem is in fact that such program comes with a special routine controlling everything from start to finish of loading process. When last byte is read from casette into memory, this procedure automatically starts the program and, at the same time, deactivating (or deleting) itself. Solution is you have to find and disable part of the code responsible for that process....
