AtariYoungin #2 Posted November 28, 2003 lynx is the only one of those that i know has a C library for it, the other 3 to my knowledge are pure ASM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vigo #3 Posted November 28, 2003 If you want to code the VCS, assembler is the only way to produce anything decent. Actually it is not that hard, as other people always say, so don´t be frightened.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocko #4 Posted November 28, 2003 Right now I am learning C. After that, I guess I will learn assembler. Any good books on assembler? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vigo #5 Posted November 30, 2003 Umpf, books about 6502 assembly are hard to get these days. I learned it through studying C64 documentations, but many people claim this book to be the 6502 bible: Zaks, Rodnay. Programming the 6502 (Fourth Edition). Berkeley, California: Sybex, 1983.

Nukey Shay #6 Posted November 30, 2003 ...or Compute's ML for beginners books...which are written in a way to ease the intermediate Basic user into assembly [/broken record] Those can be found online at http://www.atariarchives.org Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom #7 Posted December 1, 2003 rodnay zak's books certainly are bibles =) i don't know the 6502 book, but the z80 books are great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
