Usage: ./assembler\_6502.rb <infile.asm> -o outfile.nes

This is a pretty straightfoward assembler, that is currently set up
|
|
|
|
|
to produce iNES ROM formatted binaries from simple assembly listings.
|
|
|
|
|
It is good at knowing which addressing modes are and are not allowed for
|
|
|
|
|
each instruction, and contains some examples of correct syntax.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Parsing is done by Regular Expression, because, well the language is
|
|
|
|
|
so regular, it actually took less time than anything else I've tried
|
|
|
|
|
to parse in the past, including Scheme using parsec.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It handles labels, and does a two pass assembly, first assembling
|
|
|
|
|
the byte codes, and then going back and filling in the proper addresses
|
|
|
|
|
where labels were used.
|
|
|
|
|

|
I have used this to compile some code for the NES, and it ran correctly
|
|
|
|
|
on FCEUX, got it to make some sounds, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some Todos:
|
|
|
|
|
- I need to add the .byte operator to add data bytes.
|
|
|
|
|
- I need to add the #\<$800 and #\>$800 style operators to select the
|
|
|
|
|
MSB and LSB of immediate values during assembly.
|
|
|
|
|
- I need to make the text/code/data sections easier to configure, it is
|
|
|
|
|
currently set to 0x8000 like NES Prog ROM
|
|
|
|
|
- I need to add commandline options through the OptionParser library
|
|
|
|
|
- I may make this into a Rubygem
|
|
|
|
|
- I need to split the project up into one class per file like usual.
|
|
|
|
|
- Maybe I can put some better error messages.
|
|
|
|
|
- I should just make a 6502 CPU emulator probably now too.
