Yes, you are right. $FFFA is the (nonexistant) NMI vector. I mixed
that up, sorry!
But I already have a new theory. :-) Due to the fact, that your
program is so short and so many bytes are the same value, Stella07
can't detect the BIN type right. It assumes a Superchip BIN, if
the first 256 bytes are the same value. Maybe it has a bug in that
routine. If you save the following as STELLA.VCS into your STELLA
directory, both demos should work fine:
===Begin of STELLA.VCS===============================================
VCS-Script
(begin
;;
;; Properties for Cavtron
;;
(if (member Cartridge.Image '("CAVTRON.BIN" "cavtron.bin"))
(begin
(set! Cartridge.Name "Cavtron")
(set! Cartridge.Type "4K")))
;;
;; Properties for Christmas Demo 01
;;
(if (member Cartridge.Image '("CHRDEM01.BIN" "chrdem01.bin"))
(begin
(set! Cartridge.Name "Christmas Demo 01")
(set! Cartridge.Type "4K")))
)
===End of STELLA.VCS======================================================

Your game is so compact, that you could probably add two more levels
in those four bytes. :-)
