Interactive disassembler

[Bruce Tomlin]

This is what I've been working on the past few months. (I'm also getting close to releasing an updated version of my assembler.)

 

It may be a bit hard to explain without showing it in action, but it's a TUI*-based disassembler that kicks all the ass I've been wanting for years. I've only built it on Mac and Linux, so if you're stuck on Windows you'll need a Unix-y environment with the ncurses library to build it, maybe Cygwin or WSL.

As both a Windows user and a noob to the 2600 homebrew scene, what does your disassembler do compared with others that just output the assembly code?  No sarcasm meant as I genuinely am curious and don't know.

Do you know what IDA Pro is? I guess you could say it's sort of an IDA Pro Lite.

Here's a demo, with mac-x64 and linux-x64 binaries included. It's a disassembly of the "Coleco Final Test" cartridge.

Thanks for your work on this. I am going to play with it tonight.
