[Coco] More Newbie Questions for VCC

[Bill Pierce]

Glen,
It's LOAD and LOADM, DOS is for booting OS9 and a very few rare programs that used the ommand as a loader.
The filenames must be quoted as:
LOAD"GAME/BAS"
LOADM"GAME/BIN"

bin is standard for machine language programs and bas for basic programs.
Also... DIR to see the disk contents

doh!
Ok, my biggest problem was realizing that nobody followed a standard for loading 
disks back then, I just remember the "Basic" 3 commands (DOS, DLOAD, and 
DLOADM). It's a good thing that most of the game manuals are on the CoCo 
archives.Now I can actually play some of the games, that I always wanted to as a 
kid. I just have to figure out how to "Screen record" them in Windows 7 and then 
I can upload them to You-tube with a correct way of loading them up.
I just finished playing Sinistar for the first time (one of my favorite Arcade 
games) and other than the voice a bit off, it was fun to play with an x-box 
wireless controller.
For the record, I did find that the Sierra games that I tried (kings quest and 
Larry) worked fine.

Now what is the "Clear" key mapped to? Most games want the clear key to flip 
color pallets. Playing sailor man with the xbox controller is pretty cool too. 
now to try to build z-89 from all the disk images.....
