After releasing Assemblex IDE (http://ourl.ca/10437), I noticed it's much easier for users to use online tools. So, I decided to create a browser, online (but also available offline) Z80 Assembly Disassembler! The core engine is just like Assemblex's but if you give it a try with huge programs (I tried disassembling zStart 1.1 and it did it in less than a second) you'll notice it's much faster. Mainly because Javascript is faster than Python (also depending on the browser, Chrome's Javascript is the faster).
So, where can I find it?

Right there! Please give it a try, it's online, no downloads! Please give your opinion on it on this topic :D
I also have to say it can't open files for now, but that will be included soon (using PHP). If you want to disassemble files use a Hexadecimal Editor like Hex Baker (http://code.google.com/p/hex-baker/) or XVI32 (http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm) and then copy and paste the code there. Thus, you'll see how fast it is disassembling huge files and applications, perhaps even Operating Systems.

I think that this would actually be a disassembler, since it goes from Hex to mnemonics, but either way, looks nice ;)
-
I've gotten to give this a try and I must say, I really like this! It is fast and it is actually easier for me to code in this while I am chatting online. I especially like the ease of use because there is nothing to install or download, so you have a respect point from me!
EDIT: Where does it say it is an assembler?
-
He said it was a dissassembler, ashbad :P unless he saw your post and edited :P
Sounds cool! Hmm, that makes me want an online IDE + an emu :P

Thanks a lot for the support.

I'd like an emulator very much, but it only seems possible in Flash. An Assembler is possible, in fact, I'll try and make one soon.
-
oh, that is my bad ;) I'm sorry :P
-
Update
You no longer need to press 'Disassemble'. You can just type and it will disassemble it in real time. How cool is that?
I coded it but Kerm gave me an idea of how to do it :D

What do you think of this?
-
Hehe, I love this :D Now it is closer to being like the python version ! I definitely like this... Also, does that mean you don't even need those options anymore?
-
wow, that looks quite neat :) great job ;D it's very fast, I noticed -- and plus, no moar button :w00t:

I will leave the options.
Update
The spell checking of the textboxes has been disabled so it's not annoying.
-
Oh, I never had a spell checky thing... Hmm, maybe it is because I am using Firefox?
-
I think Java would be much better at emulating anything than flash :P
@Xeda, I think it's because FF recognizes that it's not for word input, but IE automatically assumes it is.
What about having it be bidirectional entry, sort of like google translate?

I forgot about Java Applets, but they're slow.
-
Are there any bugs to report? I've been trying to make it faster and trying to add file reading.
-
Is this still being worked on? It's really useful.
One thing I would suggest would be to set a timeout after every keypress instead of updating the disassembled code immediately. Doesn't seem to lag much now, but in slower browsers it would.

(I tried disassembling zStart 1.1 and it did it in less than a second)
I may have originally missed this post but :D Sometimes I even code differently based on how a disassembler would see my code. But that's just a weird thing I do.
-
Deep, if you could give me some indications on how to do that (timer thing), I'd be pleased, as I know you've done that before in Z80 Tables for example.

That's not so common indeed. Don't forget though this is an online disassembler, and it was made for quick stuff, not disassembling OSs and Apps.

First, initialize the counter so you don't get an ERR:UNDEFINED-style exception.
d = 0; // Var d now existsNow change the textbox's keyup function to something likeclearTimeout(d); // Reset the timeout if it exists
d = setTimeout(onPress, 100); // Set a timeout (timer function) to run onPress 100 ms laterThat should do it :)
