The main theme of this demo is trackloading data whilst the application is running.

We cram a DD floppy full of image and music data, then load and display each image in turn whilst playing a P61 module.

There are quite a few new things in here:

• We use a modified bootloader that reads the size of the main program from the disk before trackloading it.
• Photon's trackloader is also now copied into the main program so it can be used to load subsequent data.
• We use multiple sections and a linker script to help with organising data on the ADF image. The linker script is not technically required, however I wanted to see what I could do with vlink and linker scripts.
• We switched to the doynamite68k compressor/decompressor. The compressed file are larger than those generated by Shinkler, however the decompressor is a lot faster.
• P61 is configured to use CIA mode.
