I've been getting the hankering to learn some assembly. Since I have a pretty nifty TI-83+, I've decided that this would be the perfect platform to start working on. The only problem is that I haven't been able to find any truly reliabe documentation on the subject. There's the stuff for the TI-83 on ticalc.org but the the Z80 instructions for the TI-83+ are slightly different from what I've seen.

Has anyone here successfuly programmed the TI-83+ in assembly? Can you give me a list of things to look at?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was trying to do much the same thing for the MC68HC11 Motorola microcontroller chips, until I found a port of gcc that compiled for them. Perhaps something similar exists for the Z80/TI-83+?

Believe it or not, I actually programmed a few things for the TI-83+ :D :D :D

It's been a few years, but that was actually an interesting thing to do. I ported "Block Dude" to MirageOS a while ago. I love that game.

I basically learned from other people's code... I think I may have had tiny bit of experience with x86 asm. Heck, it's been so long I forgot how *I* learned it. I forgot the compiler I used as well.

All I remember is that it was a pain in the ___ to test the code, compile, send to calc, test, revise, repeat. BUT, I think they may be able to run MirageOS on an emulator now. I haven't checked up on it lately.

[edit] BTW I made ASMGFX for Windows w/ Visual Basic if you want to add some splash screens to your game or whatever. It's on Ti-calc.org (I love that site!).

it might be worth yout time to find a good 83+ emulator to save you time in the dev. process.

Is a TI-83+ in x86 if so here is a link: http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/pgubook/ProgrammingGroundUp-1-0-lettersize.pdf

No, the TI83+ is a Z80 chip.

The TI89/92 is a Motorola 68k.
