A85: About the ROM-call lists.




Hello,

It looks like that ftp.ticalc.org doesn't have quite new ROM-call lists, the version I have is obviously too old, and I just don't believe that all those math routines aren't found in the newer ROM-versions (like v. 10.0 which I have in my TI85). I also remeber that once someone posted some list which contained many new calls. But, I changed my computer into a newer one, and lost all the older mailings... So, I'd appreciate if somebody could kindly post a new ROM-call list. Please, don't post that ver. 1.0 TI-ROM.TXT, that I already have. I just hope that a newer one exists.

I've been thinking of a better disassembler. DASM is just awful to use, because ROM's addresses aren't even padded to word boundary. That makes many synchronization errors, and I don't like fixing them by hand...

Anyway, the disassembler I've been thinking should be able to mark some addresses as data, setting some addresses as synchronization points, aliasing some numerical constants as text (for example, video mem's address might look like VIDMEM_ADDR instead of 0FC00h or whatever it was.), and also labelling (routine addresses would be labels...). Of course all you disassembling elites out there won't need that kind of stuff, but for people (like I) who remember text better than numbers that kind of disassembeler would really be cool... ;-) Oh, one thing more... it'd be interactive... a real disassembling suite :-). For DOS...

If you wonder why I am asking for a ROM-call list, it's for my little plans for looking at ROM-code, and I just don't want to totally reinvent the wheel...

Ideas are also welcome.
