Tasm on calc (Tasm in general)

[tiuser1010]

I am new to the site, but not new to asm, but i not a great progammer. I got the Tasm on calc from ticalc and i was trying to add some registers, like ADD a,b. On Tasm on calc (just in case you didn't know this) has you define everything in the Z80TAB, including Z80 instruction such as ld a,b or set or sub a inc d. To do this you have to first type in the number of bits for your command, the command and them type in the hex code that is need for the command an example for a pop macro would be...
2pop hlE1
if you want to pop another register such as af you need a type a new command the one for af is
2pop afF1
Now here's my problem, the Z80TAB included with the Tasm on calc doesn't have the add commands or out in fact it is missing a whole lot of Z80 instructions. But my main problem is adding registers. Now the reason i use Tasm on calc is because i can't get my computer to assemble files. If you could help me with that to that would be appreciated, but i still would like to know the add command.

Below there are site link to Tasm on Calc the readme for Tasm on calc

Below are some Z80 instructions i am missing
All add commands
out
exx
sub

or
xor

You can always try my assembler (supports all commands, and is likely faster).
OTBP Assembler 1

[tiuser1010]

Thanks but it won't assemble for some reason. i tried running prgmASSEMBLE but it won't work (sorry i have not replied for a day or two

Did you send the DEFHDR group & stuff too?

[tiuser1010]

Yes i did send DEFHDR to my calc. in fact i send everything and archived it and it wont work

[Mapar007]

What error do you get?


EDIT: stupid question : (did you ungroup the stuff? (TiLP does that automatically))

[tiuser1010]

Yes i ungrouped the stuff then i wrote this program from the readme file:
PROGRAM:HELLO
:DEFHDR.hdr
:bcall clrscrnfull
:bcall homeup
:bcall runindicoff
:ld hl,txt1
:set textinverse,(iy+textflags)
:>This displays the text
:bcall puts
:res textinverse,(iy+textflags)
:bcall getkey
:ret
:txt1:
:.db "Hello World!",0

then i tried to run Assemble with all my files archived except the ones the readme said not to (ZASSEMBLE1-4)
and it just gave me the error meassage

[calc84maniac]

Um... which error message?

[tiuser1010]

The error message was UNDEFINED

[calc84maniac]

Can you hit Goto and see which part of the code it is erroring on?

[tiuser1010]

Yes i can, but when i do take me back to the homescreen
Edit:
in fact it wont even let me edit ASSEMBLE and i thought it was a
basic program

[calc84maniac]

I'm pretty sure it was unlocked... maybe your download was corrupted? That wouldn't be a first time.

[tiuser1010]

still not working after i deleted all the assembly files and the ungrouped files and then resended them to my calc
do you think i need to reinstall my os if so where would i go to do that?

[Mapar007]

ASSEMBLE is a basic program... I'd try resetting RAM first, an OS resend would be a bit, well, exaggerated imho.

[tiuser1010]

i think i know what is wrong maybe my computer is corrupt or it just didn't download correctly today i went to school and downloaded it and it worked just fine assembled and everything

[tiuser1010]

I was just wondering if i could use some form of include command using the OTBP Assembler 1. i know you can include rom calls and z80 intructions but i am talking about including pictures, sprites, or even other programs

[briandm03]

Here is some opcodes for TASM_on_Calc. I dont own an 83 or 84 so I dont know if they all work or not. I havent read the code or used the application so i dont know how it uses labels, djnz, or the other offset instructions (there were none in the readme). The syntax for the commands states the instruction size is in bits, but I think Marcel meant nibbles.

[tiuser1010]

While that is very useful, I was talking about OTBP (outside the box programming) Assembler.

[skuller972]

well, on omnimaga just search "OTBP" and the first result click on it, and scroll down until you see someones attachment of prgmASSEMBL2. TI-Connect probably jacked up the first one for you, but anyways, mine wasnt corrupted and the first main assembler program still messed up, but now i use the second one and it works extraordinarially. another one tyo try would be the chasm assembler, its a flash app, and you can find it on ticalc by searching "on calc assembler 83", thats what i did, i think , but if that dopesnt work search "chasm assembler"... acctually, just search "chasm assembler"
