That question is a little too open ended.  What are you looking to use/what are you writing for?

Happened to me on the first backlight I ever got a few years ago.  Remove the protective film on the backlight panel.

Yeah I do hahaha.  Haven't really touched it but I have the NeoBIOS Masta with it too.

ha, part of me wants to trade back the MVS for the 4mb and Microdrive cards.  Would you want to do that?  FYI, I don't have one, but I could tell you where to order a Vectrex for like $90.

Nooooooo!  Dude, that is such a good price.

DANG IT. I would've gotten rid of the Shruthi in a heartbeat for this.

Very excited about that product.  It's gonna be so cool to have "NNS" DMG's.  hehe

Your starting kit should include an accurate emulator with debugging capabilities, a modern cross-assembler (preferably one that can link binaries into target-specific executables/roms/whatever), and a text editor that can show line numbers (and maybe even supports syntax highlighting for your asm flavor of choice). It's also a good idea to have opcode list for your target processor at hand, for quick reference.

Do you have any suggestion for a cross-assembler?  WLA DX seems to support most of the things I'm interested in, except the 68k.  vasm supports the 68k, but I haven't heard much about it.  Unfortunately, all the assemblers I can find are windows only which is a problem for the time being! hmm

Thank you so much!  Very helpful! smile

Okay, I'm starting with this because it's amazing.  I'll have to switch some stuff around because I'm on Mac but it's still so well written!

So I find myself with a large amount of free time over the next few months.  I've wanted to learn ASM for a while to program some of our favorite old machines, with the PC-Engine & Neo Geo specifically in mind.  Now, where to start?  I've got a background doing a bit of Java programming, but that's it.  I've seen a lot of excellent NES, SMS, and GB tutorials, so maybe start there and branch out?  Hit me up with links, places to hang out, info, etc.  I've got the time!

Thanks!
