You're sure this is legal?

I can't read it too well anyway, I've never used assembler.

Programming anything is an art, and you can't rush art.

Good old 6510 code... Quite unreadable though...

Now there was a language you had to plan out properly, no scribbling notes on the back of a fag packet on the way home - more like months of tedious debugging and testing. Damn we've got it good.

Very interesting to look through that though, I like how the decompiler guys take little pot shots at the original programmer .

Wish I still had the source code to my Walker game on the C64 - completely written in 6510 code. Took 6 months to write, if I remember correctly, and was the first (and last time) I wrote a game in 100% machine code.

I did some programming in assembler it was horrible. There was no error checking either, so a mistake would crash out the computer. Reloading the assembler editor would take 5 minutes. C++ is a doddle compared to that.

That's ASM? Well that's heartening, I thought it'd be a lot more confusing than that

The odd thing about lanuages such as asm or c/c++ is that they're geared towards just about anything. Whereas dbp is geared towards graphics and so has prewritten functions to deal with common taks, in C / C++ / ASM you have to do it yourself :/

Hmmm, well even though it's dissembled, it's still fairly clean to look at. Most macro base hand written asm is a lot more friendly than any disassembly will appear however.

How long would it take to make that DB code? or is it impossible?

Yeah 6502 can certainly be ported, not real wise though. You'd be far better off ripping the method then porting 'particular routines'. Although since the source the missing now ?, I can't say for sure how possible a high percentage port would be (A 100% port to DBpro isn't viable IMHO).

The main issues are really what machine specific things are missing. In terms of hardware, like the system Memory Map, display/sprite/sound/input hardware & Rom kernel calls.. Most of which could found online i'm sure..

What could be useful is seeing how the code was structured (ie how you get from level to level etc). Other than that little use I'm afraid
