Re: My ColourPET Project

So far I have found these hardcoded jumps to the edit rom that do not go through the jump table:
Pasting from my disassembly...
 
;-------------- Output to Screen (Called from CHROUT in KERNAL)
;               ***** THIS ENTRY POINT MUST NOT MOVE!!! *****
*=$E202
;-------------- Main IRQ Entry Point (Called from KERNAL vector at $FFFE !!!!)
;               ***** THIS ENTRY POINT MUST NOT MOVE!!! *****
*=$E442
