I uploaded a bunch of stuff: mailbug 0.0.4, bootapp, new version
of helloap=
p, and some comment files for mailbugs disassembler.
Also a file called cru=
nch.dat, which has tags for data and code.
(Comments and crunch.dat are for=
2.53yr.)
New in 0.0.4 is mainly ability to load splash screen in stock
ma=
ilstation, and ability to embed bootapp.rom file in
the splash screen. It =
has to be named bootapp.rom, and it
needs to be in mbug subdir.
Splash scr=
een files need to be in monochrome .bpm format.
Max size is 320x128. I see=
m to remember having trouble
with smaller images, but that might be fixed n=
ow???
Filenames need to be "splashX.bmp", where X is a number.
You need a f=
ile named "splash6.bmp" if you want to load
bootapp, 'coz I hardcoded it to=
embed bootapp.rom in
that image file. Splash image files go in subdir "mi=
sc".
0.0.4 also has the "inhale" function, but it is not in menu.
Command =
is "<", and I don't remember exactly how you get it
to sync with "spew", yo=
u might need to run both at almost
exact same time to avoid timeouts. boot=
app makes this
obsolete, though. You can just "save" rom image after
load=
ing bootapp.
One other notable new feature of 0.0.4 is a symbol table.
The=
symbol data is stored as a comment with a special tag
that tells disassemb=
ler it is a symbol, and value is simply
the address where that comment is f=
ound. Disassembler
will plug symbol in whenever it sees that address.
Unf=
ortunately, it plugs symbol in whenever a constant
has that value, too, eve=
n if it is just coincidence.
Makes for some odd looking disassembled code=
in places!
There are some new commands relating to symbols, I don't
thin=
k they are documented anywhere yet (but I need to
hit the sack now).
