Automatically Running a Program from Floppy at Boot
Posted: Fri Dec 15, 2023 3:31 am
As far as I have been able to find, there's no simple setting to make the C64 core load and run a program from a floppy image at boot.
But the you can use a MGL file to mount a floppy disk and then inject a PRG file.
And you can have a simple program that positions the cursor over LOAD "*",8,1, stuffs {RETURN}, R, U, N, {RETURN} in the keyboard buffer, and exits.
And this seems to get the job done!
