That definitely looks like assembly :)
- sbarre 14y agoSome googling tells me it's assembly, but it's nothing I recognize... Thanks! you beat me to my edit.. ;-)
- jlgreco 14y agoLooks like a MOS Tech 6502? Seems pretty similar to a Zilog Z80. 8 bit processor with a 16-bit PC, though seemingly without the 16-bit paired 8-bit registers. Machines from when assembly was still fun.
- to3m 14y agoIt is 6502. (I'm not sure the 6502 counts as particularly much like a Z80?!)
- jlgreco 14y agoPerhaps not, I'm mostly just familiar with the Z80 though so I might just be seeing what is familiar to me. ;)
- fhars 14y agoIt is about as Z80 as an ARM Cortex is a Pentium M.
- zwieback 14y agoAgreed, I had a Z80 card in my Apple II and they are very different. I found assembly on the 6502 a little easier but the Z80 allowed me to run CP/M and that opened the door to a tone of SW.
- VonGuard 14y agoMOS Technology 6502B @ 1.79 MHz (NTSC version) @ 1.77 MHz (PAL version) It's the code for the Atari 800 version, I believe, so that's the processor. Some info on the assembly language for the 6502b http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/6502_Assembly http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/6502_Assembly
- Macsenour 14y agoback then we really only had Assembly as an option for games. It was a speed issue more than anything else.
- kabdib 14y agoAlso code space. The cartridges I wrote typically over-filled the code space by a factor of 25 percent, whereupon you crunched. Usually you wound up with a handful of bytes free. One cartridge I did had 6 bytes left, and another one had less than 20 and I was trying to think of something cool I could do with 20 bytes.
