Kernel Jump Table

The MEGA65 kernel jump table provides stable addresses you can call to access kernel routines from your program. The table addresses are guaranteed not to change, even if other changes in the ROM change the actual code locations.

Addresses $ff4d-$ff7d are compatible with the Commodore 128 jump table. Addresses $ff80-$fff3 are compatible with the Commodore 64 jump table. Neither C65 nor MEGA65 have added new jump table entries.
