Title: Best on-calc ASM compiler
Post by: Electricity440 on November 11, 2013, 01:54:05 pm

I mastered TI-Basic, then Went to axe, and now I want to program ASM langauge on my calculator. What is the best assembly on-calc assembly compiler?

There is Mimas and ASMdream. The former is more recent and I recommend it more but you may want all the fancy features ASMdream has. Up to you but to begin with Mimas is easier.
You also have the option of directly typing in hex. :P

Yeah, I tried some asm with mimas some time ago too, the editor was quite nice indeed, though I recommend (as for any other languages) to back up your progress on your comp ;)

Wait what ? I thought ASMDream was the most recent of both.

Yeah but Mimas is the most recently updated one.

I've used Mimas a lot and have to say it's a really good IDE (better than the TI-BASIC editor is for TI-BASIC, by far).

I'm all about programming directly on calc, and I've found the best IDE is Mimas, I really enjoy being able to do everything on calc. Its great.

Lol, see my edit ? It is because my post included your exact sentence before I checked and saw on ticalc that ASMDream was also the most recently updated one. Seems like there are updates without notifications here, while FloppusMaximus made a huge new post for his latest release on Mimas.

Does ASM Dream use the BASIC editor? As annoying as it can be, some BASIC and Axe coders have used the BASIC editor for so long that they can actually work faster using it than anything else. However, Mimas definitively seems to be the most complete editor.


Can Mimas and ASMDream edit files from archive, by the way?

Oh lol Hayleia, didn't know that. :P
Asmdream uses the Basic editor but you have to type out instructions.
And Mimas can edit from archive since it's a standalone editor.

Also while Mimas has a better editor, Asmdream has a lot more features in the assembler (it's just an assembler actually) such as macros.
