MODE 13

MODE 13 is the unofficial title of a low-resolution screen MODE, selectable with the *MODE command or the NewModes sideways ROM module.[1]
The MODE 13 code adapts the MODE 5 screen to provide a small-memory version of MODE 2, 20 × 32 characters in 16 colours. It does this by redefining the character set to provide thin characters.

MODE 13 can be created manually with the following code running in the I/O processor.
BASIC: MODE 5 :REM Base MODE ?&30A=19 :REM Characters per line ?&34F=16 :REM Bytes per character ?&361=1 :REM Pixels per byte ?&362=&AA :REM Pixel left mask ?&363=&55 :REM Pixel right mask *FX154,192 6502: LDA #22:JSR OSWRCH LDA #05:JSR OSWRCH \ Base MODE LDA #&13:STA &30A \ Characters per line LDA #&10:STA &34F \ Byte per character LDA #&01:STA &361 \ Pixels per byte LDA #&AA:STA &362 \ Pixel left mask LDA #&55:STA &363 \ Pixel right mask LDA #154:LDX #192:JSR OSBYTE \ Cursor width
The character set needs to be redefined to be four pixels wide, such as with the one used with NewModes.
