I'm creating an article and video about various ways to load and save
memory on the VIC-20. I wrote the assembly code that I posted a while
ago and was sure it worked previously. As it turned out there was
nothing significantly wrong with the code, it was purely a testing
issue. I can post the URLs to the article/video once finished if
you're interested?
