While trying to program in asm, I have run into a wall because of compiling. I can compile a program in Latenite without errors, but when I send it to wabbitemu to run it, the program freezes the calc no matter what I put into the main section of the program. I am very new to asm and I don't know what to do to actually produce a program that works. Any help/suggestions would be great. Thanks.

You will always be able to trust Wabbitemu to behave like a real calculator for your program when you are first starting out.

In order to help diagnose your problem, post the code that you are trying to use. Try building a sample or template that comes with latenite to verify you can build and run simple programs.

Snipes17,

There is no reason to use that Emulator,
in Latenite just click "Start Debugging" it will
automatically use PindurTi to test your program.

Also if your not getting build errors your program should be fine.

I know this because I have experience in Latenite.(Signature)

Thanks. I forgot about that. It runs my programs, so it must be something outside of Latenite.

How do you run an Asm program without a shell? This might solve my problem.

Ok. That's what I thought, but wabbitemu freezes when I enter any code into a file and run it.

A bit of a biased opinion me thinks. Razz

It is very unlikely TIOS and other large programs would run if there were a problem with the hardware basics. Of course, it's open source, so if you find a problem, fix it.

I am just using Latenite's regular TI83+ (native) setup. Where it says "insert code here" I have been putting in small pieces of code just for practice. It isn't any specific code. It just is freezing on wabbitemu and I don't know why. The debugger works fine, though. I am fine with using that until I know enough about ASM to put it on a real calc.

Have you tried any other emulators or a real calc? Does Latenite give you any warnings? Does it work if you don't use any bcalls?

It sounds like you may have a bad ROM. You also said your catalog didn't have ASM( ? Are you running a TI-83?

No, I don't know how, nor do I know of a problem. I just think that it is unlikely that there is not a single bug in the whole emulator. Don't get me wrong, I think it is the best one out there, but it is pretty rare to find flawless code on such big projects.

Spencer brings up a very good point. I hadn't thought of either.

There's hundreds of bugs I'm sure! For the simple stuff, you shouldn't worry though. Unless you're dabbling in advanced hardware, you should be alright. Smile

I have the ASM( command. I am using an 83+ ROM and it is fine. I do not know the problem but the same ROM works with the debugger in Latenite (Pindurti isn't it?). I can work with that for now so I won't worry about it until later. I would have tried it on a calc but I have an 89 Titanium now. Thanks for all the suggestions, though!

*EDIT*

Found it. I didn't know that you leave out the '_' in bcall for Latenite, so I guess the part in the parentheses of the title on this thread was right. Sorry about all the confusion. Wabbitemu and Latenite are fine.

Using a rom of a calculator that you don't own is illegal.

Indeed. Hence, the calculator lives on in spirit.

Thank you Calc Police :biggrin:
I do still own the thing. The problem is that the LCD is cracked and you can't read all of the screen. I can still get a rom off of it, so I don't think it is very illegal. But with lawsuits these days, you never know!

Anyway, I am learning asm for the 83 series because I haven't had much experience with asm and there aren't very many good tutorials for the 68k calcs. Also, I think programming in Ti basic on the 89 isn't as fun as it is on the 84+. I hope to learn enough asm to make a strategy game, but I can't say what it is yet.

have you considered C (using TIGCC) for 68k calcs? Or are you more interested in learning an actual assembly language, which imho is pretty fun and interesting?
