Unfortunately that won't work. In 2600 mode the 7800 maps
in the TIA and RIOT in all even 4K segments of the 6502
memory map. Therefore you can only use the odd 4K segments
for a game. You have to double the segments in the ROM and
compile the later halves for $D000 and $F000.


Ciao, Eckhard Stolberg
