    fstream read() question.

    Ok I have an array
    Code:
    unsigned char Memory[0xFFF];
    I want to load a file into this memory, but I want it to start at 0x200, not at the beginning of the array.

    Here's my code

    Code:
    bool CPU::LoadRom(char *sFileName)
    {
      ifstream Rom(sFileName);
    
      if(!Rom.is_open())
        return FALSE;
    
      Rom.seekg(0, ios::end);
      long size = Rom.tellg();
      Rom.seekg(0, ios::beg);
    
      Rom.read(Memory, size);
    
      Rom.close();
      return TRUE;
    }
    How can I start reading in at 0x200?

    The simplest way I could think of would be to read the data into a smaller array (0xFFF - 0x200 - I'm too tired to do the arithmetic) and then read the data from that array the latter part of Memory[]

    Rom.read(Memory+0x200, size);

    That's one thing which makes the C/C++ language unique. You can do cool stuff like that.
