If you do not now, nor will you ever, use a single 6502 for your game _and_ coin processor, just delete this now and save some time... Now, for you PotShot and Tetris programmers (and any others who are into "cheap" in a big way). Norm Avellar found yet another coin bug. It seems that if MECHS=2, the "middle-mech-multiplier" is _not_ applied to the left mech. I can only assume this was on purpose, because the code goes to some effort to do it. I also could swear I changed it a long time ago. But then again, I would have guessed that the copy of nucn65 in sys$sysdevice:[utilities] was no more than two versions out of date too... Anyway, the latest (today) version of nucn65.mac is in ee$userdisk:[albaugh.6502.coin], and will be in wherever the standard place should be if someone will let me know where that is (I can never unravel AUDIO's logicals). The version in sys$sysdevice:[utilities] is unbelievably old and crufty, so it is almost certainly _not_ being used by anybody. Maybe I ought to delete it and see who screams :-) Any suggestions?
