Regenerator disassembler v1.3 by n0stalgia

May 16th, 2013 No comments

Regenerator is an interactive disassembler for C64 binaries. Regenerator will load any standard C64 .PRG file (or VICE snapshot) and disassemble it for your convenience.

There are a few options you can choose to change the output and a few tools to make the output look better and more useful to programmers. Regenerator runs under M$ windows and need .net 3.5 (or 4.0) runtime.

New in version 1.3:

  • Added REMOVE command to remove part of the data from dissasembly.
  • Added EDIT BLOCKS window to Edit all the DATA, TEXT and REMOVED blocks manually.
  • Added COPY to Clipboard functionality (insert key) with FULL or CODE only modes.
  • Added possibility to add user-defined COMMENTS to the code. This can be done as a FULL line comment or as a SIDE comment!
  • Added USER LABELS – you can now add a label to any address and it will be used in the disasembly. If there should be an automatic label generated for it then it will be overriden. Also added USER LABELS editor which is part of the old Label Prefixes window. You can add/edit and remove user labels within this screen and have a general overview of the user labels.
  • Added high and low partial references to immediate opcodes. This means that code like LDX #$A0 STX smwhr LDX #$BB STX smwhr+1 will be disasembled as LDX #<pBBA0 STX smwhr LDX #>address STX smwhr+1. This includes loads and stores in different order and with different registers. There is also a context menu command that lets you disable this on a currently selected address (if auto creation fails). NOTE: excluded address in STA opcodes will not be generated like this!
  • Fixed the Add BLANK LINE and Remove BLANK LINE so it actually works as it should.

CBM prg Studio v2.6.0 released

April 29th, 2013 No comments

CBM prg Studio Version 2.6.0 is released. There are a lot of new features in this version. I’d really appreciate it if you report any bugs you find or have any suggestions/comments.

CBM prg Studio allows you to type a BASIC or Machine Code program in using a nice Windows environment and convert it to a ‘.prg’ file which you can run on an emulator, or even a real C64 / VIC20 or PET if you’re feeling brave and have the right kit.

CBM prg Studio is the result of merging C64PrgGen and VIC20PrgGen. Adding new features and fixing bugs in two apps which were 95% similar was a bit of a nightmare so merging them made sense.

It was also a good opportunity for a face lift and to add some new features, such as:

  • Programs are project based, meaning all related source files, sprite files etc. are kept in one place and multiple source files can be linked more easily.
  • Tabbed MDI.
  • Syntax highlighting.

What CBM prg Studio isn’t is a front-end for tok64, cbmcnvrt, bastext or any other tokeniser / detokeniser / assembler. It’s all been written completely from scratch.

New features:

  • Assembler overhaul resulting in 30% reduction in assembly time.
  • Added multi-depth file inclusion (Incasm).
  • Batch mode for generating multiple files.
  • GenerateTo directive extended for disk images (d64, d71, d81).
  • BASIC import from D64, D71 and D81 images.
  • The ‘@’ can be used to specify the start address/program counter.
  • Case conversion for quoted BASIC strings.
  • Bookmarks.
  • Greater control over the data generation when including screen data in assembly source.
  • The BASIC keyword PI has been changed to {PI}.
  • Genesis assembler file format added to file conversion tool.
  • The character editor’s scratchpad has been merged with the main edit form.
  • The grid on the screen editor is now ‘behind’ the characters.
  • Keystroke Macro recording/playback.

Bugs fixed:

  • Some cheap label issues.
  • Some projects not being built as the build order was incorrect due to ‘* =’ used when specifying the start address.
  • Spaces around values in a WORD sequence were invalid.
  • Assembly code reformatting issues.
  • Reformatting assembly code which contained breakpoints.
  • Reformatting assembly code which contains spaces.
  • Breakpoints not being retained.
  • Adding existing files to a project occasionally failed.
  • Some assembler expressions not evaluated properly.
  • Some assembler invalid variable names not detected.
  • The BIT instruction in the debugger was not setting the overflow flag.
  • Some memory overwrites not detected.
  • Palette issues with C128 target machine.
  • Some invalid byte sequences not reported.
  • Emulator could start even after an invalid prg generation.
  • Problems with global variables.
  • Improved validation on options pages.

See the help for a complete list of new features and fixed bugs.

The “Colour PET” Project

April 21st, 2013 No comments

Steve Gray started a new project. He uses an 80 column (monochrome) CBM/PET to display a 40 column screen with colour.

A normal 80 column CBM/PET uses two RAM banks for the text. Steve now uses one RAM bank for the text (40 columns) and the other RAM bank for the colour information.
