Hello everyone,
I am still trying to learn assembly language but keep on running into
problems.
I have been trying to have the following source code assembled:
VIDRAM EQU $0400 *Start of Video Display location
V0CLR EQU $FFC0 *Clear bit for Sam Chip (Graphics mode)
V1SET EQU $FFC3 *Set V1 bit in Sam Chip (Graphics mode)
V2SET EQU $FFC5 *set V2 bit in Sam Chip (Graphics mode)
VOFSET EQU $FFC6 *Display Offset Binary, This is the CLR Bit
(Video page offset)
VDGSET EQU $FF22 *PIA1 data port B: VDG Control output
POLCAT EQU $A000 *Color Basic rom poll keyboard routine
ORG $21FD
LDX #VIDRAM *331D: 8E 04 00
LDD $AAAA *3320: CC AA AA
Z3323 STD ,X++ *3323: ED 81
CMPX #$1C00 *3325: 8C 1C 00
BCS Z3323 *3328: 25 F9
NOP *332A: 12
PMODE4 STA V0CLR *2787: B7 FF C0
STA V1SET *278A: B7 FF C3
STA V2SET *278D: B7 FF C5
LDA #$F8 *2790: 86 F8
STA VDGSET *2792: B7 FF 22
STA VOFSET *2795: B7 FF C6
JSR [POLCAT] *332E: AD 9F A0 00
RTS *3332:
Using Roger Taylor's CCASM (as included in RainbowIDE) I get the following
binary file:
00 00 24 21 FD 8E 04 00 FC AA AA ED 81 8C 1C 00
25 F9 12 B7 FF C0 B7 FF C3 B7 FF C5 86 F8 B7 FF
22 B7 FF C6 AD 9F A0 00 39
When I try to run this binary file using the VCC emulator I get an error
message stating that the binary file is corrupt.
Can anyone help me try to understand whether there is anything wrong with my
source code, the assembler (i.e. the resulting binary file) or the emulator?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Fedor
