Learning Assembly/Machine Language

I would love to learn assembly/machine language, but I don't know where or how to start. Are there any good resources out there?

Re: Resistors between cassette port and video port?

Thanks! Unfortunately, the hacking I did in 1982 using the old man's plumbing solder iron, scotch tape, and twist ties for wiring was never documented. The tapes that once held that code are probably rotting in a landfill, having first been overwritten by pirated copies of Judas Priest or Black Sab...

Re: Resistors between cassette port and video port?

Exactly. I loaded up my 1980's VIC version of "ITunes", which did nothing more than know how long to run the casette motor in order to search or play a song. After the program was loaded, I swapped out the tape with an actual audio casette, and flipped on the switch that played the audio ...

Re: VICE Build and Mods

Had to pack things in a rush to get a long-distance bus, then had to reinstall everything on my laptop. Upgrade didn't work on the desktop machine, so that'd be another reinstall.... why not? At least I'll get rid of the trash left by three earlier Linux Mint versions. But that's NOT fun! :mrgreen:...

Re: Interference (?) at VIC Startup

A screenshot of the start up screen or even a video of the start up procedure would be helpful to better assess what's wrong. Also, what connection/components are you actually using? The RF modulator is prone to failure and produces lots of psychedelic effects while doing so. When the master clock ...

Interference (?) at VIC Startup

When I turn on my VIC I get a random pattern of colors in the border. I assume this is interference in the video connection as it doesn't cause any problems. It also doesn't appear when I use a capture card. Then the border is slightly discolored. Is my assumption of interference correct and is ther...

Re: VICE Build and Mods

Building the latest for GTK3 on Linux doesn't work for me. libgtk-3-dev has been installed but it wants "GTK3 support packages". Whatever that is supposed to be, it's not in the docs. Ok, so it's not just my system. Thanks for the info! :) I do wish the docs elaborated a bit more on what ...

Re: General User Guide for Amiga Modtracker-like Programs

Hi Gorf, which program do you mean? As you probably did read here on denial, I‘m working on somethink similar... not a modtracker but 4bit sample tracker, see on my recent postings. I‘m still needing some help to that. Greetz I have MilkyTracker, which is not exactly like those found on the Amiga, ...

alternatively, you could join IRC on freenode #vice-dev in late evenings (EST) and talk to some macOS guy directly :)

Ok, thank you! I think I'll probably try the IRC :D

NTSC/PAL Switcher Mod

Earlier today I requested recommendations on demos for the VIC. Upon receiving recommendations I was informed that most demos were for PAL VICs, seeing as I have an NTSC VIC, they won't work. Looking at the price for PAL VICs on eBay, I found that they were quite expensive. Then I had an idea: "...
