New on the blog: I try to more seriously put the ASMotor assembler through its paces. I looked at it briefly when recommending tools for bare metal Genesis/Mega Drive development but basically could only say "hey, this looks pretty good at first glance."
I've now actually tried to push it hard enough to make it uncomfortable. Good news: it is *very* good.

got the rotated text done yesterday. bah, it was difficult! and I don't even really know why. it's not a standard feature of #troff, so one has to inject some raw postscript in there. this should all be simple, but aww, there were some weird interactions. yet i made it, it works, so there.
also did the proof-reading on these latest parts, found a few small mistakes. i still need to do one (easier) table, and then i'm done with the first major part of the chapter, ca. 50 pages, 40%.
i think i'll actually print that out and try binding it into a booklet, as a trial.
My Login Shell in Assembly
Today in project ideas I wish I'd get rid of:
An #rgbds (#gameboy / SM83 assembler) linker that turns the object file into ELF, allowing it to be linked into a linux program (and resolve symbols in doing so), coupled with a minimal CPU emulator with a few syscalls to be able to perform C calls/linux syscalls outside of the emulator.
...and then use that to implement the x11 or wayland protocol in SM83 #assembly and display things.
(I've been looking for excuses to learn these protocols)
Gameboy Emulator dev stream !!
Today we go back in the limbo that is the audio of my emulator and maybe find a way to make it work on the web (inb4 ragequit?)
