DASM troubles

[TheHoboInYourRoom]

Hi, everyone.

I finally decided to start really learning how to program the VCS. I already have a general idea of how the VCS builds a picture line by line and sets up the appropriate blanking and syncronization inbetween frames, so I wrote a little assembly file to confirm if I actually know what I'm doing (all it's supposed to do is increment X and set PF1 and COLUPF to that value once every frame). However, every time I've tried assembling it with DASM the past few days, DASM trips up on something in the file and can't resolve any of the labels I've set up. What's more, the list file DASM produced reports "Unknown Mnemonic" errors on every single line of the assembly file.

I'm using DASM v2.20.11 for Windows with v1.05 of vcs.h and v1.06 of macro.h. The command line I used is "dasm bartest2.asm -f3 -v4 -Lbars-l.txt -sbars-s.txt -obartest2.bin".

Below is the assembly and DASM's output, and I've attached the list file.
Is there some boneheaded fundamental mistake I'm making?

 

Assembly:

PROCESSOR 6502
INCLUDE "vcs.h"
INCLUDE "macro.h"

ORG $f800

init:
	CLEAN_START
	lda #2
	sta VBLANK

startFrame:
	VERTICAL_SYNC

	lda #44
	sta TIM64T

vertBlank:
	sta WSYNC
	lda INTIM
	bne vertBlank

	stx PF1
	stx COLUPF
	lda #0
	sta VBLANK
	ldy #191
	sta WSYNC

kernel:
	sta WSYNC
	dey
	bne kernel

	inx
	lda #2
	sta VBLANK
	lda #35
	sta TIM64T

overscan:
	sta WSYNC
	lda INTIM
	bne overscan
	jmp startFrame

ORG $fffa
.word init ; NMI
.word init ; Reset
.word init ; IRQ

DASM output:

START OF PASS: 1

Thanks in advance for any help!

You need line indentation for Processor, Include, and ORG statements. You also need line indentation for ".word".

 

 

I think something like this will make you a binary file and a list file:

 

dasm bartest2.asm -f3 -obartest2.bin -lbartest2.lst

Oh my gosh, it works now!

Thank you, Omegamatrix!
