An NES assembler for the 6502 microprocessor written in Ruby

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.
|
||||
This assembler does not understand banks or mappers yet, and so having
|
||||
more than one PROG section does not quite work yet. That is next
|
||||
in line to be fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
It handles labels, and does a two pass assembly, first assembling
|
||||
the byte codes, and then going back and filling in the proper addresses

Some Todos:
|
||||
- Allow lower case mnemonics in source code
|
||||
- Understand how to deal with various mappers
|
||||
- Understand how to create multiple banks
|
||||
- Get an NSF file playing
|
||||
- More unit tests for each instruction
|
||||
- I may make this into a Rubygem
|
||||
- Maybe I can put some better error messages.
|
||||
- Should I also make a 6502 Emulator in Ruby?
|
||||
|
||||
Some new additions:
|
||||
- Ported NES101 tutor to this assembler.

an entire 65535 byte virtual memory images, and write the instructions to

their correct places, and then after resolving symbols during the second pass,

I just clip out the Cartridge ROM area and iNES header at the end, works great

so far.

so far. Now that I know I will need to support various mappers, I still may
|

use this method, but will need to create multiple 65535 memory segments and use
|

banking to distinguish them before finally writing out the resulting ROM in
|
||||
the correct order.
