Find the Dwedit application development kit in ticalc or Dwedits website.

Well, It's very similar to making a z80 program except it needs a header.

;Include file needed to access system routines
#include "ti83plus.inc"
randData .equ appbackupscreen+450
.org $4000
.db 080h, 00Fh
.db 000h, 000h, 000h, 000h
.db 080h, 012h
.db 001h, 004h
.db 080h, 021h
.db 001h
.db 080h, 031h
.db 001h
.db 080h, 048h
.db "GamePack"
.db 080h, 081h
.db 001h
.db 080h, 090h
.db 003h, 026h, 009h, 004h
.db 015h, 04Ch, 03Eh, 069h
.db 002h, 00Dh, 040h, 0A1h, 06Bh, 099h, 0F6h, 059h, 0BCh, 067h
.db 0F5h, 085h, 09Ch, 009h, 06Ch, 00Fh, 0B4h, 003h, 09Bh, 0C9h
.db 003h, 032h, 02Ch, 0E0h, 003h, 020h, 0E3h, 02Ch, 0F4h, 02Dh
.db 073h, 0B4h, 027h, 0C4h, 0A0h, 072h, 054h, 0B9h, 0EAh, 07Ch
.db 03Bh, 0AAh, 016h, 0F6h, 077h, 083h, 07Ah, 0EEh, 01Ah, 0D4h
.db 042h, 04Ch, 06Bh, 08Bh, 013h, 01Fh, 0BBh, 093h, 08Bh, 0FCh
.db 019h, 01Ch, 03Ch, 0ECh, 04Dh, 0E5h, 075h
.db 080h, 07Fh
.db 000h, 000h, 000h, 000h
.db 000h, 000h, 000h, 000h
.db 000h, 000h, 000h, 000h
.db 000h, 000h, 000h, 000h
.db 000h, 000h, 000h, 000h


;End of header data
StartApp: ;The app starts here
;your code here

then, instead of ret, do b_jump(_JForceCmdNoChar).

tasm can do apps, but you have to create the header yourself, which luby gave you the template for. and iirc, you'll need to use wappsign or whatever ti calls it to actually SIGN the app.

don't forget that the output should be .8xk

did you add a .end to after your code?? (btw, you don't need randData .equ appbackupscreen+450, that was part of the program I ripped it from)

if you're using TASM, what are you using for a linker?

and wabbitsign was revsofts linker/app signer but it's been integrated into SPASM. it is based on wappsign, which is made by TI.

apps need to be "signed" in order to work iirc, along w/ other weirdness.

If your using dwedit's tools to assemble an app you type:

asmapp (Your name of APP)

Dwedit also includes an include file with for all the shells and the vflashapp.


Here's how I start out my app:

Code:
#DEFINE APPNAME "MLCSHELL"
#DEFINE APPPAGES 1



#include "dwedit.inc"

curcont = saferam3
current = saferam3+1



StartApp:
*Code goes here.

Quit:
   bjump(_JForceCmdNoChar)

There are a lot of mixed messages on this forum. To make an APP, you need an assembler and an APP signer. We sign APPs with a free key, so anyone can load them onto their calculators.

The easiest way is to use SPASM or one of Brass's templates. Here's an example of a two page APP with SPASM.
Code:
#include "app.inc"
defpage(0, "Test")

  .db "This is page one."

defpage(1)

 .db "This is page two."
 .block 1337

validate(); This will make sure you have enough room for a signature
You can assemble this in a command prompt: spasm test.z80 test.8xk. Both of these assemblers include an APP signer an will automatically sign it for you.

You can use TASM but it will be more difficult.

Code:

#include "app.inc"
defpage(0, "yo")


   ld hl,txt
   bcall(_PutS)
   bcall(_getkey)
   bjump(_JForceCmdNoChar)
txt:
   .db "HELLO!",0

defpage(1)

.db "This is page two."
.block 1337

validate(); This will make sure you have enough room for a signature


Does SPASM sign the App, cuz I get really nothing ouput on screen when i run this code?

PutS doesn't work in apps, because PutS can only read from ram. You can either copy the string to saferam, or write your own PutS routine that loops through PutC.

remember that bcalls are stored on another ROM page, making passing a pointer to ROM pretty much useless. this applies to bcalls that you create for your app as well, provided the code is located on another page. that being said, if it's on the same page, might as well use call instead.

edit:

so what's the special project? a big rpg?

Probably a little late, but you can check here for a few things about application programming. I think a lot of it's out-dated because more recent compilers (such as spasm and brass) both have directives that do most of this stuff for you (mostly stuff dealing with multi-page apps). But, if you're interested... It does go into a few details about what the app header actually is, how to create multi-page apps "by hand" (what's happening behind the scenese of the directives) and a few problems with application programming.

Even more late, but I can help here to as I have a working App (compiled with brass3) and I know most (I think) of the specifics when dealing with Flash as well.
