bit $2002 @loop: bit $2002 bpl @loop lda %10010000 sta $2000 in every known location of running code. its almost laughable at this point, it just won't turn interrupts on no matter what. Is there anything you can think of that I am missing? Thnx for your help, this is so weird You're missing a # si...

It's hard to catch these kinds of bugs without the full code or a ROM, but let's consider a few things: then, to give an overview of my program, I load everything in by scenes. scenes are arrays that contain a place, and people. I get to the people part, and first load their palettes. everything wo...

fceux Mesen lets you view OAM ram directly. Very helpful. https://i.imgur.com/TWQSl7o.png That looks nice. It's on linux too.... I have to use fceux through WINE because their debug tools are only on the windows version... Most people have said fceux is the best choice, but I've been annoyed with i...

So I prodded around the ram, and my sprites are all there, in $0200, exactly how I transferred them. first thing is first. I run through the init code. that stores a #$00 into the PPUMASK and the PPUCTRL I establish the oamdma area. zero out memory, put sprites at FF. etc then, to give an overview o...

for those who search this question on the future, it is not possible, at least with my assembler ca65 This information is not correct. You can definitely use indices past the end of tables/labels in any assembler, as long as you know what you're doing and are 100% sure that the data is stored in me...

backgroundPalette: backgroundPalette1: .res 4 backgroundPalette2: .res 4 backgroundPalette3: .res 4 backgroundPalette4: .res 4 This is the solution I use when I need to access multiple tables from one "master" label. For palettes specifically I don't waste space with the unused colors though, so I ...

backgroundPalette1: .res 4 backgroundPalette2: .res 4 backgroundPalette3: .res 4 backgroundPalette4: .res 4 ldy #15 @fillPalette: lda (paletteData), y sta backgroundPalette1, y dey bpl @fillPalette yes I mistyped that example. I know that (address), y is for pointers, not arrays. Maybe that's why I...

I have palettes set up in ram one after another. For simplicity's sake I would like to fill them all with one loop while still keeping labels on them separately. Is there any harm to this (besides possibly being "bad style" backgroundPalette1: .res 3 backgroundPalette2: .res 3 backgroundPalette3: ....

The convention I've seen on other 8-bit micros is to instead have a set of defines more like... well, this thing I use in my ca65 stuff: PPU_CTRL = $2000 .enum PPUCTRL NT0 = 0 NT1 = 1 NT2 = 2 NT3 = 3 INC1 = 0 INC32 = 4 SPR_LEFT = 0 SPR_RIGHT = 8 BKGD_LEFT = 0 BKGD_RIGHT = 16 SPR_8X8 = 0 SPR_8X16 = ...

| GENERATE_NMI << 7)

is this a typo?

should be

| (GENERATE_NMI << 7)

anyway, if it doesn't work, I would just do the bit shifting yourself.

GENERATE_NMI = 1

becomes

GENERATE_NMI = $80

lol thanks you got it. I missed on parenthesis in both the ppu and the mask one I made.

the problem is that ca65 doesnt allow bitwise operations in constants assignments

It doesn't? I don't see any reason why this method wouldn't work... What error are you getting?

Im getting a "Trailing junk characters" error. let me try with that syntax fix from a previous reply

Im trying to make a page with project settings that I can reuse. the problem is that ca65 doesnt allow bitwise operations in constants assignments is there a better way to do this? BASE_NAMETABLE = 0;keep this here for ease of change VRAM_INCREMENT = 1;0: add 1, going across; 1: add 32, going down S...

So between all those constraints, for all-new 5V DIP parts, you're basically stuck with just Greenliant's GLS27SF(512 / 010 / 020) and GLS29EE(512 / 010), and Microchip's SST39SF(010A / 020A / 040) and OTP AT27C(256 / 512 / 010 / 020 / 040 / 080). Thank you friend. I did a lot of research on chips ...
