DASM

Check this thread for some info on disassembly of >4k roms:

 

Thomas comes through!

Forgive a little newbie programming stuff here, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to dump the asm of Crystal Castles (cryscast.bin) to a text file using dasm. All I get are a ton of 'unrecognized mneomic' errors.... Help? Please?

[Snider-man]

Uh, Inky? I think you may be using the wrong program for what you want to do. DASM is an assembler. You want a DISassembler like DiStella. Take the BIN of CC and disassemble it into a TXT file. Should be easy enough. (Although, a source code file can be read and altered through a text editor, right?)

[Inky]

DiStella only does 2K or 4K. Crystal Castles is 16K.

 

What other options do I have available?

Bringing this back...

 

Now I have a new problem...

 

I decided to give 5200BAS a test run through, and I downloaded DASM (the TASM link didn't work) and once again, I get mnemonic not found errors. I'm typing DASM jim.asm What am I doing wrong.

 

And this time I'm trying to assemble.

If you are getting plenty of "mnemonic not found" errors, that usually means that you forgot the processor 6502 line in the source code file. It should be the first line in jim.asm, so that DASM knows what processor you want to assemble for. Also you should make the command line something like dasm jim.asm -v3 -f3 -ojim.bin to get a proper binary file.

 

 

Ciao, Eckhard Stolberg

I did a littlesearching for tasm, and found it. I didn't notice that 5200BAS had a batch file to automatically assemble using tasm.
