Self modifying code
I think I will dig up some old DX6 threads and respond to them by saying they should use DX8. Or better yet, find a thread where someone is saying how proud of their P2 they are, and then brag about my p4-2. I better get started...
Hmmm.... since this thread has been resurrected, I might as well ask this useless question.
Let''s assume for the moment that I''m a weirdo who refuses to use DirectDraw for access to the framebuffer like most normal people and instead want to go into Mode 13h and get a pointer to video memory.
I can fool Windows into letting me do this? I see at the geocities site I can get the pointer. But how can I call the interrupt?
I''m interested in trying this simply because it is strange! (Why aren''t useful things interesting?)
