CA65's default nes config?

Post by GradualGames »

Does anyone use CA65's (well, the linker), default nes config? It seems like it would be kind of limiting to use that---so I'm working on my own in order to have control over the segments/memory areas. One thing I thought was odd is that they made the vector segment 12 bytes long instead of the usual 6. Why is this?

I've been able to get my own config file working for assembling/linking my roms but I was just wondering if anyone understood why the built in nes config is the way it is.

Good question. Must be specific for C related code. I never used the built-in setting.
