systemcat Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I always like to test new software that I get,and all DASM does is flash on my screen for a second,and then go off.I need a verison that will work under Windows.Does anyone know of one?Plus I've never worked with this language before.Does anyone also know of a site where I can really read up on it.It reminds me of Color Basic but I know it's not.

You have posted this message in a "2600 Programming for Newbies" forum, which is chock-full of exactly the sort of advice and information you are seeking. Right now you're not aware that your question is fundamentally flawed in its assumptions. Please take the time to read the tutorials; they're there for people with the exact same questions as you.

Nukey Shay Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 What they meant was that you just can't click on Dasm's .exe file to run it. Dasm expects that you are specifying a source file to compile...as in... dasm pacman.asm -f3 -opacman.bin That would take a text file (pacman.asm) and turn it into a binary called pacman.bin that is compatable with the 2600. You need to use parameters such as those so that it knows what you want to do. Check out the other threads so you can see how those text files are created...and look up the beginner's M/L links as well.
