Orix binary v1 format (Will be deprecated)

Orix binary v1 is not a relocated format. The binary must be never under $800. Relocation format (Format 2 see below) is now provided in kernel v2022.4

You don't need to know this format except if you use others assembler than ca65 (or cc65 with C). Orix-sdk provide .cfg file to add header to your code in assembly

        .byt $01,$00            ; non-C64 marker like o65 format
        .byt "o", "r", "i"      ; "ori" MAGIC number :$6f, $36, $35 like o65 format
