Hello,
I'm interested in learning Assembly for the z80 processor. The z80 processor is what is used in TI-83Plus TI-84Plus and I'm sure other calculators. The hexidecimal values that the code is broken down into is the same as the pentium 8080 processor. <-- I know that's like what 1979???
Why would I want to learn assembly? Speed, size, and more speed. The "normal" (most commonly used) language is TIBASIC, which is the same as BASIC + some tweeks for calculator functions. However, this is memory intensive, slow, and burns up RAM quick. So, for calculators the era of slow, small sized memory is still in existance. (Thus using ASM).
Anyone that knows z80 assembly, 8080 assembly, or flat out 83Plus calls, etc.. Would be greatly appreciated.
A couple things I would Like to know:
What is a really good assembler
Code in general
The Stack <-- need I say more
Things I got down:
"Hello world"
-questionable
