Synthead Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 So I'm reading Andew's tutorials and picking through the Stella manual, and I'm getting into writing code and compiling stuff. However ... I only know a few very simple commands - only the ones in the tutorials that I picked up on. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to know the commands already ... I'm a bit confused. So I'm wondering - is there's a resource out there that defines all of the existing commands for this stuff? Cause I'm kinda left in the dust here ... I used to program in BASIC for Apple ][ //e and Tandy computers, as well as modern TI graphing calculators. So I have a true feel for programming and stuff, but this is pretty much my only area of expertise ... if only I could read through commands and syntaxes ...

Nukey Shay Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 What you need is a general tutorial for the 65xx series chipset...and those can be found at http://www.atariarchives.org/ (machine-specific tutorials are still in the 2600 For Newbies and Porgramming 101 forums).

Nukey Shay Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 BTW since you've programmed in Basic, give Machine Language For Beginners a try (which applies a working knowledge of Basic toward learning assembly). To experiment, you can use the Atari800Win emulator to practice on...use F8 to enter it's monitor mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 have a look at http://www.6502.org/tutorials/ especially http://www.6502.org/tutorials/6502opcodes.htm (this is not a tutorial, but an opcode list, with a fairly detailed explanation of each opcode) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
