zip0 6502 Applications

This book presents practical application techniques for the 6502 microprocessor.  It assumes an elementary knowledge of microprocessor programming on the level of the preceding book in this series (Reference C202: Programming the 6502).  Understanding how to program the microprocessor chip itself (the 6502) is only a prerequisite for the actual programming of a microprocessor board connected to real devices.

zip3 Advanced BASIC and Machine Code for the Commodore 64

This book aims to teach you the rudiments of machine code programming, with a couple of chapters on BASIC just to limber up. Commands are introduced slowly, with plenty of explanation and sample listings to work from. A feature used throughout the book is a small arcade game, which is gradually built up from chapter to chapter, using commands introduced in each chapter.

zip4 Advanced Machine Code Programming for the Commodore 64

This book is intended to complement Ian Sinclair's Introducing Commodore 64 Machine Code. The word 'Advanced' appears in the title although this should in no way deter beginners providing they possess tenacity and sufficient dedication. It is assumed, however, that readers already have a little experience with BASIC.

zip9 Commodore 64 Machine Code

The Commodore 64 has become one of the most popular home computers in Europe and the USA. It is a versatile and interesting machine. The aim of this book is to show you how to enhance its abilities still further, by learning the rudiments of Machine Code programming. Want to fill the TV screen with a grid of symbols, in the twinkling of an eye? Move sprites around fast enough to playa reasonable game? Count how many times the REM character occurs in a program? Then it's Machine Code you'll need. It places many more demands on the programmer than BASIC does; but as a reward, it expands the range of tasks that your computer can do.

zip12 Complete Commodore Machine Coding Course for the C64 & C128
This book takes a different approach. Instead of choosing between the machme code programming expert and the professional communicator, we've used both. Andrew is a professional programmer on the CBM 64, while I'm a computer journalist and consultant by profession. We believe that, by working together, we've come up with a guide which is far easier to use than any other on the same subject. complete-commodore-machine-codeprogramming-course-for-the-c64-c128

zip13 Dr. Watson - Beginners Assembly Language Programming for the CBM64

This book is a self-paced course on machine-code / Assembly-language programming based on the 6510 microprocessor.  Getting going in assembly-language is said to be a major problem for the beginner.  However, it's a problem that we trust will disappear when the beginner's hands get on this book.

zip14 First Steps in Machine Code on Your C64

If you've mastered BASIC programming on your Commodore 64 and are ready to move on to bigger and better things, then book will show you the way.

Ross Symons first introduces you to the disassembler and explains its use. After making this acquaintance, the complete instruction set for the 6510 (the chip at the heart of your computer) is listed. Each instruction is explained with the aid of a demonstration program which will help even the newcomer to machine code to get to grips with the C64 and extract the most from this powerful micro. Other sections include a discussion of the KERNAL operating system, and its applications such as printing, input/output devices, and scanning the keyboard, are also considered.

As an exciting bonus, the book ends with two complete machine code games which show you how to create your own worthwhile, high-speed, animated arcade-like games.

zip17 No More Secrets v0.96 - NMOS 6510 Unintended Opcodes

'Back in the days' so called 'illegal' opcodes were researched independently by different parties, and detail knowledge about them was considered 'black magic' for many conventional programmers. They first appeared in the context of copy protection schemes, so keeping the knowledge secret was crucial.

When some time later some of these opcodes were documented by various book authors and magazines, a lot of misinformation was spread and a number of weird myths were born. It took another few years until some brave souls started to systematically investigate each and every opcode, and until the mid 90s that Wolfgang Lorenz came up with his test suite that finally contained elaborated test programs for them.

Still, a few opcodes were considered witchcraft for a while (the so called 'unstable' ones), until other people finally de-capped an actual CPU and solved the remaining riddles.

This document tries to present the current state of the art in a readable form, and is in large parts the result of pasting existing documents together and editing them

zip20 Super C - The 4 Part C Compiler
The Super C compiler is a four-part system. An editor makes it easy to enter programs. The programs are translated into machine language by the compiler. The compiler is a complete version of the C language except for bit fields. The linker binds separately compiled programs together. The fourth component of the system is a disk manager which can be used to copy files. super-c-the-4part-c-compiler
