DOOD - Data overlapping optimized!


Thomas Jentzsch

Recommended Posts

When your program has a lot of (graphics) data, you can try to save some space by overlapping the end of one data block with the beginning of the next one. While this can save quite a lot of space, it is a pretty tedious task to do that manually.

 

Those times are over now, because now there is DOOD, the Data Overlapping Optimizer for DASM (though it should work with other assemblers too)!

 

It offers lot of parameters which help you to tweak the results to your need. E.g.

  • you can define page size (e.g. 256 bytes) the data should not cross (to avoid page penalties)
  • you can have an offset into those pages (often required for kernel data)
  • you can chose between three output formats (binary, decimal and hexadecimal)
  • ...

If an option is missing, please let me know and I will try to add it.

 

Note: The program requires Windows XP or never.

Updated to version 0.93

Improvements:

  • much better scanner (handles tabs and comments, skips empty lines)
  • output can be identical to input now (new default)
  • fixed a bug when data is completely included in other data
  • overlapping matrix file is sorted identical to data in generated output file
  • can handle special zz and zr formats (constants used for easier graphics data definition)
  • some new statistic information added
