I knew all those techniques once, back in the day when I was 11, with a Final Cartridge and a curious mind.

Nowadays I just operate https://c64g.com/

I don't think I could even remotely write one of the cracktros I used to. I seem to remember it all had something to do with interrupt timing. You had to fill with NOPs in order to get the timing right.

Same here. I actually still have some of the code for a few of my intros and demos, but I look at it now and it's like just total gibberish to me. That knowledge is LONG gone from my brain... I can't even remember how to compile it anymore!
