~llama Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I know DASM seems to be the de facto standard assembler for the 2600 crowd, and I guess it makes sense because it's pretty fully-featured but it has lots of little quirks that annoy me. I've used Bruce Tomlin's 6502 assembler some and I like it a lot too... Just wondering what other people use for the 7800, since there's a smaller amount of source code out there and thus less dependence on DASM.

kamakazi Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 MadMac is what I'll be using on an Actual 520ST. Just need to locate the program. Also, any tips for a newbie to Assembly Language I could use to just get the 7800 to say "HI" on the screen? I too use DASM on my "PC" for 2600 programming (taking the 2600 programming for newbies course). DASM is very stable and uses almost all of the 2600's features...which has more features than I thought it appeared to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigo Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) For everything 6502, I always use DASM, being it C64, Atari 2600, Atari 7800 and even the PC-Engine/Turbografx 16 (using macros for the handful of extra opcodes). For the 2600, it's quite nice that the newest versions of DASM support the illegal opcodes. Edited August 6, 2008 by Vigo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdididit Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 MADS works well too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteym5 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I use MADS for all the Atari 8-bit stuff because it uses some of the MAC/65 commands. I have been looking over the 7800 samples which were written for another assembler. If I can port them to MADS, it probably make much more sense to me of what is going on.
