Learning 68K Assembler
« on: April 02, 2009, 11:07:57 AM »
Hi all,

I'm interested in learning (Amiga) 68k assembley language. I know its no small undertaking, but time is on my side! Can anybody recommend some material which would suit a complete beginner?

Plus, is the Motorola CPU emulated perfectly in WinUAE? Can I practice in WinUAE?

Thanks in advance,

Olly

Haha! Cheers for that!

I wondered if you knew if Paul Overaa's books were obtainable in pdf format? Just following one of NovaCode's links brought me to a recommendation for these tites. They are available on ebay - albiet for around £90.

I don't mind ponying up if I have to but I wonder since they are out of print....?

Thats what I was thinking. Very long term, I'd love to get into coding retro games for legacy amiga systems. I believe theres nothing like getting right down there to get the most out of the hardware.

Bloodline is right though....C is a hell of a lot less hassle! I have plenty of time though - no hurry. :-)

regards DinG.


Hey - that would be fantastic! Thanks very much...let me know if you find them and we can sort out the payment once we get an idea of cost/weight etc...

I think a slow postage would still be cheaper than getting them off ebay....and i can guarantee a good home!  :-)

Whenever is convenient for you. Cheers!
