Tutorials

I was wondering, do any tutorials on programming the SMS exist that are similar to the tutorials that have been written for programming in ASM for the various TI-8x calculators? (which also use a Z80, but the tutorials have you use a lot of TI-8x specific ROM calls)

An Excellent Book

I know this sounds like a needle in a hay stack but look
far and wide for a book called Z80 Software Gourmet Guide & Cookbook. It covers all aspects of the Z80 and even gives you techniques such as systems that use Bank Switching, Input/Output, etc. Simply put, it's the SHIT. I was lucky enough to find it at my local programming group, Explorer Post 227. Chris :o) |

How about an ISBN for those who would just order it through www.bn.com? ^_^ --Nyef |

I can't find it in this book!? I thought all books had it? Well, it's published by SCELBI Publications and it was written in 1979 (Mabye there's no ISBN cause it's so old). Chris :o) |

Off topic, and dumb question: How to compile ASM programs and produce a working SMS rom using TASM? Is any other software needed? |

That's nothing! I once asked how to read in a rom file in
C! I was 13, I passed up a chance to score with a 17 year old (doh! Pisses me off to this day!! I wish I could see her again now that I'm 16 and aware of shit). Chill, we've all done dumb things in our lives. Chris :o) |

Can I assume (based on the file names you give) that you're assembling my sample program SNAIL.ASM? (I'm so happy!) Any way, it doesn't work correctly on Meka. It runs too fast. I've yet to figure out why, though. (Any help?) It should work correctly on Massage and BrSMS. Be sure to rename snail.obj to snail.sms or it might not work on some emulators. Eric Quinn |
