A classic loading routine {below as a BASIC Loader}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. 0332  a9 01    lda #$01
. 0334  a2 08    ldx #$08
. 0336  a0 01    ldy #$01
. 0338  20 ba ff jsr $ffba
. 033b  a9 02    lda #$02
. 033d  a2 4e    ldx #$4e
. 033f  a0 03    ldy #$03
. 0341  20 bd ff jsr $ffbd
. 0344  a9 00    lda #$00
. 0346  a2 00    ldx #$00	- low byte  	{poke 839,low }, load to this address
. 0348  a0 38    ldy #$20	- high byte 	{poke 841,high}, example here $2000
. 034a  20 d5 ff jsr $ffd5
. 034d  60       rts
. 034e  30 2a    bmi $037a	- 0* def. name	{poke 846,[0-9], 0-gfx.bin is a valid name!
. 0350  00       brk            - use to stop 2nd load of this routine! line 100          
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


IMPORTANT TO KNOW: 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO NOT CHANGE THE ASTERISK {*} in the name structure of 2 characters!
This will make it possible to load a file with the name "5-color-data.bin"
							   or   "7-sound.bin"

BASIC LOADER
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With this few lines, you can use your BASIC 3.5 a totally different way!
No need to do 500 DATA lines, or write a BASIC routine to make a game level.
Load .bin files, e.g. screens, color maps, sound data, custom characters directly from the floppy
disk into the memory where you need your data!

From BASIC, no assembly knowledge needed!

Before you can load .bin files, you must saved them.
Best way to do that is using the built-in ML-Monitor and make sure the name is correct.
I think 10 files are okay, but with small change you can even have 99 files!

Example: S"1-screen.gfx",8, 0c00, fe8

Keep in mind that you always must add +1 to the final address {which is here $0fe7+1 = $0fe8}
This will save the whole screen!

In the example below, the name is "1-sound.snd", but this will work too because the most 
important part is the first character {actually s number in our case}

Of course, if on the disk there are 3 files, {e.g. 1-bike.gfx, 1-sound.snd, 1-screen.gfx}, then 
the first one will be loaded!


LOAD BINARY FILES {BASIC LOADER}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
100 if peek(848) = 150 then goto 150
110 for n=0 to 31:read d$:a=dec(d$)
130 poke 818+n,a:next:poke 848,150
150 :
160 rem to load a binary file called
170 rem 1-sound.snd, to $3800
180 rem type:
185 poke 839,00:poke 841,56
190 poke 846,49:sys 818
195 :
500 data a9,01,a2,08,a0,01,20,ba
510 data ff,a9,02,a2,4e,a0,03,20
520 data bd,ff,a9,00,a2,00,a0,38
530 data 20,d5,ff,60,30,2a,00,00
