On the A500 you could attach something to the expansion port that replaced the entire CPU with an emulated one, with full debug capability. Like an Action Replay it could see all the custom registers and anything written to RAM as well.
Well, really just an Action Replay with a USB or serial port would be enough. I wonder how feasible it is. |

A cool reading that allowed me to begin to fill some of the holes that others reading began to dig/raise in my 68k learning process . |

With a source level debugger you can step through lines in your source code so it's much easier to see what is happening and fix problems. |

Note that these are all also on archive.org for those who want a more 'permanent' source. But still nice to see them in the Zone

Happy that this reading I pointed to was also useful for others and not only for turrican 3
Thanks for putting it in the zone LongLifeA1200. Now hope that turrican3 had a look at it |

How does one go about getting access to The Zone to read these articles? The link above says that I am trying to access a restricted area?

I know this is an old post but maybe people still return here for guidance.
I was trying to learn Amiga ASM for 7 years, but was not until I read like 100 pages (several times) of the PDFs "Amiga_Hardware_Reference_Manual_3rd_edition" and "COMPUTEs_Amiga_Machine_Language_Programming_Guide" and "Amiga_Machine_Language_Abacus", that I finally started to get enough fundamentals to do some simple demo coding. You slowly start to see the logic, that ASM is all about moving data around inside the $MEMORY, using the CPU for simple logic, math calculations and COMPARE A with B...THEN JUMP to Subroutine, and of course using the specially assigned $CUSTOM_CHIP_MEMORY functions like $dff180 = background color. Reading other people's code is simply insane Anyway, good luck to anyone getting started, it is totally possible, but takes a little reading and testing. PS. I use AsmPro from Aminet, in hires 4 colors, works great. Last edited by REAKTOR BEAR; 03 October 2022 at 21:29. |

Not the same books but quite the same conclusion here
jel's (FR) [ Show youtube player ] & Photon's (UK) [ Show youtube player ] video tutorials (watched again and again ) were of great help as well. |

the best is to try to copy / code simple examples from books and see them in action / step by step debug
also learn about hardware registers/copperlists and basic library startup/end (graphics/copper). - If you need to allocate memory you need exec AllocMem / FreeMem - If you need files you need to open dos.library and learn Open/Read/Close... There were pretty good books at the time. I used basic "Micro Application" asm book, and also the Amiga Bible... Copying / typing source code from paper to computer was also part of the learning process. Copy/paste teaches nothing. |
