I recently bought a starpath supercharger off ebay, and ever since I've wanted to see what cool things I could do with my 2600. With all the info on this forum, I've managed to code a basic game in visualbb and play it. I then made a title screen, and while it ran fine in the emulator, makewav wouldn't convert it. After some research I realized that my title screen was an 8k rom, and the supercharger can only handle 6k. The code for my title screen by itself is definitely less than 6k, but visualbb splits it into 2 4k banks. Is there anyway I can alter the bank size in visualbb? Or is it possible to do a title screen all in one bank? And last if I want to make games specifically for use on my supercharger, is visualbb the best way to go, or should I try to learn assembly?

If you have the money, you could buy a Harmony cartridge and any batari Basic game would work with it.
