jcbstein Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Is there a PDF of the manual for Ultra Disassembler by Adventure International available on-line? Been trying to find one, but I am having no luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowPokey Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) Yes, after much hunting I found it in '99, my interest came after reading the Analog review of Action! which praised its code output. I've just scanned it today to post to the forum.

+DjayBee Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Dunno, since the original dumper of the Teledisk image is unknown. Perhaps it's not original, but better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) From what I recall, the program did autoboot but I don't even have a cracked copy anymore. That's why I'm reluctant to add it now. Still, not too worried, the disk will show up. It's an uncommon title but not ultra rare either (if you pardon the pun).

SlowPokey Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Here are .ATR files of the two sides of the accompanying disk, much thanks to Loharek for his marvelous SIO2SD which I'm just finally archiving my disk collection with; I had to dig this program out of a box of 8 bit treasures and glad to see a 37 yr old floppy still reads.

Mclaneinc Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Slowpokey, care to reveal what other titles you archived, you may just have another rare item that would be great to at least know it is out there. Paul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems correct because according to the manual on page 1-1 you should format a disk with DOS 2.0S and copy Ultra Disassembler to this disk. This request rules out copy protection as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this looks like an original disk, could you make a scan of the physical disk? Like the picture below. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowPokey Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Yes, I saw the omission mentioned at Atarimania, I've just e-mailed both the disk and manual jpg to the administrator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunstar Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) Wow, some how I missed this thread all year! The pictures of the physical disk above say "boot in drive 1 unless otherwise instructed" I'm guessing that's because it's just a generic Adventure International label for any Atari programs they published and, indeed, one has to write the program to a DOS 2 disk as the manual instructs? (which is why they have the quote I just made on the disk) Thanks for all of this to all who posted images and sent stuff to Atarimania...now I just have to go download the manual from there. I do believe I will be using this a lot in the near future, since I'm teaching myself assembly, and the ability to examine most any program and change them will really help me in the learning process! Does anyone know if the output code can be used with Mac/65? That's the Assembler I use; it's not one mentioned on the back cover picture above. Maybe Mac/65 came out after Ultra-Disassembler?

www.atarimania.com Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 SlowPokey, sorry to bother you but do you think we could have the pictures / scans untrimmed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraDisassemA.atr 90.02 kB · 55 downloads UltraDisassemB.atr 90.02 kB · 52 downloads While cleaning up my hard drive I stumbled over this dump and the one found by @GeoHolub in Don Maslin's Disk Image Archive. Out of curiosity I compared them and found out three things: SlowPokey's dump contains a customization file (which is only interesting for hardcore archivists). The dumps are from different releases and differ by exactly one byte. Side B of the disk contains the (most probably complete) source code of the disassembler. SlowPokey's version contains an off-by-one bug in a routine to clear memory which has been fixed in the other dump. ; correct version from v2 46B9: A9 00 LDA #$00 46BB: A2 59 LDX #$59 ; LDX #$5A in v1 46BD: 9D 41 52 STA $5241,X ; label SECMAP below 46C0: CA DEX 46C1: 10 FA BPL $46BD 46C3: 60 RTS ; source code on side B ; Miscellaneous tables & buffers ; KBBUF DS 32 SECMAP DS 90 ; 90 = $5A NUMBUF DS 6 ; $5241+$5A is the first byte of NUMBUF Meanwhile a second dump of the fixed version was found which contains the B side as well. For convenience both sides of that disk. When downloading, please remember that the disk does not boot. Instead you need to copy the binary to a DOS formatted disk as stated on page 1-1 of the user manual.
