"the C64 took its name from its 64 kilobytes (65,536 bytes) of RAM"

It has 64 kilobytes. The definition of kilobyte and megabyte (and I presume gigabyte, among people who could afford caring about them) were universally agreed to be binary.

Programming was "cooked" before the current Artificial Inference hype. I am not saying reducing the tedium is not beneficial. Where is the innovation, attribution and intelligence?

Try to keep the value 0 in the Y register.

  echo tya|asm|mondump -r|6502
                                A=AA X=00 Y=00 S=00 P=22 PC=0300  0
  0300- 98        TYA           A=00 X=00 Y=00 S=00 P=22 PC=0301  2

That's 1 byte smaller than `LDA #0`, but not faster. And you don't have enough registers to waste them -- being able to do `STZ` and the `(zp)` addressing mode without having to keep 0 in Z or Y were small but soooo convenient things in the 65C02.

You might like the PC Engine, a game console based on the 65C02*.

*Actually a custom chip also containing some peripherals.

It is either a fork or new software based on what a people really want or need. This is not an easy hill to climb.

Unfortunately, "configuration" is the survey. I detest both configuration and surveys. Modify the open source code and rip out the Artificial Inference code because Firefox is open source, or build software from scratch: servo, ladybird, your own web browser based on a survey.
