Furby 6502 linter #5

Open caps0ff opened 4 years ago

caps0ff commented 4 years ago

What: the original Furby uses a special 6502. We have a manually typed assembly listing that may contain errors. We need a program to look for translation errors.

Skills required:

We have an instruction manual that describes the list of opcodes. We believe but aren't sure that a couple of non-standard opcodes were added. If we are mistaken and no standard opcodes have been added, we may be able to use a standard assembler.

It is left to the reader on how they want to implement this. You could use an existing project or make a stand alone program. As long as its clear how to run this on either Linux or Windows it should be acceptable.

Hallo, if nobody is currently working on this, I would like to git it a try. My language of coice is Python and i can test on all of the big three OS. From what i understand you want a programm that reads the Assembler Files and Outputs a nicely formated version of it.

Hello! Thanks for reaching out, but we just got someone confirmed working on this: https://twitter.com/BlueSyncLine/status/1254297071517143041?s=20

But nobody is working on the actual assembler (https://github.com/caps0ff/DecappingHelp/issues/4). Would you have any interest in giving that a hand? This is a more advanced project, but its related

Haha, now thats a bit more Advanced 😆 It can't hurt to give it a try but dont get your hops up.
