Title: 64bit windows
Post by: squidgetx on July 04, 2010, 11:15:15 am

In short

I tried starting asm programming

64bit win7 doesn't support TASM/devpac8x

Does anyone know of any good assemblers that are compatible w/ 64bit win (or x64 version of devpac8x)

Thanks in advance :x

Some will say "Brass", others "Spasm"
Both are excellent, so take your pick.

You can use Kerm Martian's BinPac8x (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/429/42915.html) to replace DevPac8x.

Could I just use wabbit to replace devpac8x?

wait, TASM works fine for me on 64-bit windows 7....
but, yeah, it was so silly to make devpac8x a com file instead of exe, otherwise we wouldn't have this problem

you mean wabbitemu? i don't think it packs 8xp files


if all else fails, look up the 8xp file schematics and write your own program to pack it (that's what i did) :)

I think he means Wabbitcode

Actually I think he means wabbitsign

Oh right x.x

I get all confused with all those wabbits :P

Right; wabbitsign
It appears to work (at least when useing Kerm's midi converter :P)

Speaking of wabbitemu, I'm having an issue getting the ROM off my calc
I'm using RomDump8x, and it tells me it can't recognize my calc. Is this possibly because I'm using a random usb-mini usb cable?

You mean Rom8x, right? Normally it should work with any USB cable that works with TI-Connect or TiLP. Are you using a TI-Nspire running in 84+ mode? If so, then it migth be the issue.

did you use the appropriate 8xp files for your specific calculator? iirc, the process was a bit complicated; are you sure you did exactly what the readme said?

*TIP* check the BAOS source code for a certain file *cough*clean.rom*cough*, i think its 83PSE. Who said that? (looks around innocently) ::)

I read somewhere about someone else having this same issue. The problem is, 64 bit windows can't run 16 bit programs, such as TASM. I think there's a 32-bit version, and you could also try it in DOSbox

All my problems fixed now :D
Ben Ryves' Brass assembler coupled with Wabbitsign replaces TASM and DevPac8x (I didn't feel like installing Python just for binpac, sorry kerm :P)

and idk what problems i had before, but i gave rom8x another try and it worked fine.

New question; is there a way to record the sound output in Wabbit? And can .gif's be converted to a movie file, like avi or wmv for use outside of posting on the internetz?

Glad the problem is fixed. To record sound output you need a 2.5mm to 3.5 mm cable connected to your computer microphone port and calc link port (you can use adapters too) and a software that can record stuff in wav or mp3 format like Windows sound recorder or maybe Goldwave. Audacity isn't Win7 compatible yet, though.

For movie files you need to use VirtualDub or Windows Movie Maker. Make sure to get Windows Movie Maker 2.6 if you get this. They can be found on Google.
