Summary
Jason explores programming for the Commander X16, a new retro computer project led by the 8-Bit Guy (David Murray). Using his C++ for 6502 toolchain, Jason demonstrates how to adapt his previous Commodore 64 work to target this modern retro platform. He explains the Commander X16's VERA video controller memory layout and shows how to properly address its video memory to display text, highlighting that the X16's memory addressing is similar to embedded display controllers used over I²C or SPI buses.
