Dasm Problem

[8BIT 1337]

I'm in the beginning stages of playing around with graphical hacks. Before I actually do anything I want to be comfortable with the disassemble and reassemble stages.

 

I've used Distella to dissassemble a 4k rom, using the -a option, and when I try to use dasm on the resulting file I get an error for *every* line: "Unknown Mnemonic."

 

What idiotic thing am I doing to cause this? I'm using version 2.12 of Dasm. I've tried 2.02 as well with the same result.

 

Any help will be appreciated!

You have to tell DASM the CPU type

 

Add processor 6502 (with at least one blank before!) at the start of your code.

That worked of course - Thanks! I must have missed that little tidbit somewhere along the line!

 

First hack, here I come...

Thanks here too.

 

I transfered my software from a Win98 machine to one running XP and thought it was an OS issue.

 

Glad I checked here first

 

This little batch script really helps out:

 

DISSAMBLE.BAT

 

echo processor 6502 > %1.s

distella -a %1.bin >> %1.s

 

Just type disassemble and the file name, no extension.

Hi Greg!

 

echo      processor 6502 > %1.s

distella -a %1.bin >> %1.s

 

Try this one:

 

distella -pa %1.bin >> %1.s
