I'm getting the following errors:

Code:

What the heck? I don't get why the first 4 are wrong? or even the latter.

Try using spasm, this program works fine for me.

Brass can assemble Z80 assembly, but not eZ80, which is what the CE uses. As PT_ suggested, use spasm-ng instead. And make sure to pass the command-line -E flag to signal eZ80 mode.

Thanks for the help! I was able to compile and run and it fully worked! Just that the palette and coloring was kinda... horrible. lol.

ps: for another assembly project, im trying to find the full 8bpp color palette that the calculator uses. There was a resource I consulted a while back that provided the following code for creating the palette, and also had the palette itself embedded as an image with color values, but I seem unable to relocate said resource. The code piece is this:

Code:

If someone remembers this or has any idea what im referring to and can post the link, I'd greatly appreciate it. I have looked on ez80 heaven extensively and its not there. I remember using it and another site and I believe the "other site" was the one.

A few updates:
1. Trying to get back into the swing of ez80. My first successful, stable program I compiled this morning. Something that sets a palette then shows the colors with the text value. Only problem is the device name is "YAHTZEE" because i compiled it as such (its a preliminary). Kinda exciting to have a working asm program, however simple it may be

2. Having a crash with the following code:

Code:

Code should set the screen to yellow, then create a 50-high red banner, starting at the top, with the text "Yahtzee - TI" appearing over it. I see the yellow and red appear just before the crash, allowing me to deduce the crash occurs within the PutS setup. Working on debugging.

I guess that

Code:
crashes, maybe you should change that to "ld a, 10"

Oooohhhh! I feel so dumb! I meant to use penCol/row and the corresponding rom calls. Lol.
Thanks for that!

Edit: Looks like that wasn't the cause of the crash. I also figured that doing ld hl, cYellow (3 bytes), and then ld.sis (textFG/BGColor), hl was causing issues, so i changed all those to ld.sis. It still crashes. I'll step over it in a debugger tomorrow and post my results.
