Fairly straightfoward in Python. Also, fixed the sidenav references, which should be using the file in the sgtutorial subdirectory. Also, tweaked index.html a bit.

<p>This tutorial will walk you through some of the fancier things SourceGen
|
|
can do. We assume you've already finished the basic features tutorial,
|
|
and know how to create projects and move around in them.</p>
|
|
<p>Start a new project. Select <samp>Generic 6502</samp>. For the
|
|
data file, navigate to the Examples directory, then from the Tutorial
|
|
directory select "Tutorial2".</p>

|
|
<p>Looking at the code list, the first thing you'll notice is that we
|
|
immediately ran into a
|
|
<code>BRK</code>, which is a pretty reliable sign that we're not in
|
|
a code section. This particular file begins with <code>00 20</code>, which
|
|
could be a load address (e.g. some C64 binaries look like this). So let's start
|
|
with that assumption.</p>

<p>As discussed in the introductory material, SourceGen separates code
|
|
from data by tracing all possible execution paths from declared entry
|
|
points. The generic profiles mark the first byte of the file as an entry
|
|
point, but that's wrong here. We want to change the entry point to
|
|
be after the 16-bit load address, at offset +000002.</p>

<p>Click on the first line of code at address $1000, and select
|
|
<samp>Actions > Remove Analyzer Tags</samp>
|
|
(<kbd class="key">Ctrl+H</kbd> <kbd class="key">Ctrl+R</kbd>).
|
|
This removes the "code entry point" tag.
|
|
Unfortunately the $20 is still auto-detected as being part of a string
|
|
directive.</p>

<p>The string is making it hard to manipulate the next few bytes,
|
|
so let's fix that by selecting <samp>Edit > Toggle Data Scan</samp>
|
|
(<kbd class="key">Ctrl+D</kbd>). This turns off the feature that
|
|
automatically generates string and <code>.FILL</code> directives,
|
|
so now each uncategorized byte is on its own line.</p>

<p>You could select the first two lines and use
|
|
<samp>Actions > Edit Operand</samp> to format them as a 16-bit
|
|
little-endian hex value, but there's a shortcut: select the first
|
|
line with data (address $1000), then <samp>Actions > Format As Word</samp>
|
|
(<kbd class="key">Ctrl+W</kbd>).
|
|
It automatically grabbed the following byte and combined them.</p>

|
|
<p>Since we believe $2000 is the load address for everything that follows,
|
|
click on the line with address $1002, select
|
|
<samp>Actions > Set Address</samp>, and enter "2000". With that line
|
|
still selected, use <samp>Actions > Tag Address As Code Start Point</samp>
|
|
(<kbd class="key">Ctrl+H</kbd> <kbd class="key">Ctrl+C</kbd>) to
|
|
tell the analyzer to start looking for code there.</p>

<p>That looks better, but the branch destination ($203D) is off the bottom of the
|
|
screen (unless you have a really tall screen or small fonts) because of
|
|
all the intervening data. Use <samp>Edit > Toggle Data Scan</samp>
|

(<kbd class="key">Ctrl+D</kbd>)
|

to turn the string-finder back on. Now it's easier to read.</p>
