People do use it then, not had much in the way of feedback. Jam Assembler does not doing anything special with the font or anything like that. It would be using Windows API for fonts and messages etc. i.e. anything standard windows stuff. Jam Assembler not been tested on anything newer than

Hi David, I have used JAM and found it to be an excellent environment. Much of the original code I wrote for Dave was developed using it but I found the default build to address $8000 a limitation, so I ended up with a context/pasmo setup where I could do what I wanted and build to any

Ah, well the feedback is probably my fault then as it's the only cross-assembler I've been using for SAM stuff. I tried PASMO and AS8080 but so far haven't really streamlined my compile-test-debug phases, so it was a natural choice. I'll send you the details off-list... :) Howard On

Ah. I am a moron. Updated from Java 6 update 21 to update 30 and the problem went away. Must say, though, I would never have expected that to have been a problem, especially because your binaries are all JAR files instead of JAD midlets. Okay I'm confused again now! Howard On 01-Feb-12

On a related but slightly different note... Sometime in the near future, I want to get back into a fairly major SAM gaming project I was working on. I'm going to give JAM a go (Just quickly tested it on my machine running Windows 7, and seemks to work fine!). :-) I made the mistake of

I was too young to appreciate it at the time but I think Fred had a great series on assembly and the Sam that flowed into the sort of topics specifically of interest to game writers. Has anyone converted those to a modern document format? Other than that I can tell you that z80 questions tend

Andrew/Balor/thomas those links and info are great! Thanks very much! (Finding a place with all the fred stuff is great... I've got a lot of them, but they're all hidden in a box somewhere lol!) Think I've got an 'original' copy of the tech manual that I got from FRED back in the old days,

JAM Assembler 1.13 problems?

2012-01-31 Thread Balor Price
So, hmmm... while I'm fired up... Anyone having problems with the GUI in Jam Assembler? It's been a while since I tinkered, but now I'm getting gobbledygook instead of English in the dropdown menus and dialogue boxes... At a guess I'd say the font lookups had gone askew, it's a JAR file
