| This is really wierd, does anyone else have MirageOS freeze when trying to use the _getkey romcall? Fortunately, I can still use the on + mode to quit it, but it's otherwise frozen. Is there a way to use _getkey, or can I only use _getcsc or direct input? (im trying to get David's input routine working in Mirage) |

| This may have nothing to do with it but I have a suspicion it is getKey in Basic progams which makes them not work well with mirage. |

I wonder if the program would work under an earlier os version, then?
Oh, well, reply if you can get _getkey to work, or know a good way to convert the _getcsc results to become the same as _getkey results. |

Im pretty sure _getKey messes with an interupt that MirageOS like to use. What are the differences between the two?
_getkey Waits until a key is pressed before continuing?
_getcsc Checks for a keypress then continues on its own?
To get _getcsc to act like _getkey is simple:
Code:
GetKey:
bcall(_getcsc)
or a
jr z,GetKey
Or you could check for other keypresses:
Code:
GetKey:
bcall(_getcsc)
cp gUp
jp z,ActionUp
cp gDown
jp z,ActionDown
....
....
....
or a
jr z,GetKey
:). |

| Yes, I know how to do that, but then the results are in _getcsc "form", and David's input routine uses _getkey "form", so does anyone know how to "convert" from _getcsc to _getkey? |

| Also, another input routine that works with _getcsc would be fine, too, I just need some way to input names if you get a high score in my game. |

Thank you for saying that!!!! 
I just stuck "im 1" at the top of my program (to disable to MirageOS interrupts) and it works beautifully!!!
Now I have finally finished my first ASM game completely. I'm just going to print out my code and spend 30 minutes optimizing it, and then my first contribution to the TI community should be complete!!!
