How to create a Status Bar in Assembly language using Atari with MAC/65 editor / assembler.

[@migry]

The last time that I used MAC65 was back in 1985! Really nice piece of software. Loved BUG65 too.

[@mjtorn1]

Good stuff again, glad you found the time to make this! Hope you find more ;)

[@acht_bits]

I just recently discovered your channel. I like your videos and hope to see more in the future.

[@MikeDancy]

I'd love to learn Assembly language for the C64

[@Vulpecular]

Fantastic, You’re back!!

I have recently discovered your channel and I am very impressed. I recently purchased my first 130XE (expecting it soon) and your videos have been really helpful. Looking forward to watching the rest of your content. Thanks.

[@8bitandmore]

Great to hear!

[@PaulHockerOnEarth]

@@8bitandmore Hope you start to make some more programming content soon.

[@nickolasgaspar9660]

your RETURN key is having a hard time during these sessions...lol wlc back.

[@oak1780]

glad you're back! looking forward for more

Anything like TDLINE under SpartaDOS?

[@8bitandmore]

Yes, TD ON | OFF

[@takingbytes1265]

Good to see a new video! Thanks

[@VVGRestoration]

This is the best channel for Atari 8-bit.

[@VVGRestoration]

Could you make a tutorial showing how to do scrolling in assembly language using display lists?

[@8bitandmore]

Yes I will

[@2600lifestyle]

Glad you're back!

[@chrisdupuy7749]

Do you hate your space bar? Lol every time you hit it it thwacks and I am like bro you gone break that poor space bar…great video though!

[@8bitandmore]

old habits

[@buffalodebill7986]

Nice / good to have you back :-)

[@armedbushido]

Need more - awesome. Got me to pull out my 800XL. Added a Sophia 2 and got a FugiNet. Keep it up.

[@8bitandmore]

Nice!!

Welcome back

[@gamerbrosmaximuz7125]

Welcome back

I have Atari 65XE, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum 48k and love them all. I'd love to see your videos about C64 programming, because your Atari programming tutorials are fantastic!

[@Fractal_CZ]

Long time no see. Even longer took till “don’t go anywhere” :) Thanks for this channel

[@lorensims4846]

Aaa, Phooey! Use the Assembler/Editor Cartridge! It certainly worked perfectly well for me back in the day.

[@edbrown1166]

First, awesome video! Love the way you explain in detail what you're doing and why. But, I am curious why the code doesn't end with an RTS? Also, you missed letting us Altirra users know the method used to enter the atascii chars ;)

[@8bitandmore]

I have not been back to visit Altirra since I have the real hardware lol, I will see if I can load it up and figure out the keys.

[@TonyRudzki]

I know why you're following the basic so closely, but just creating the DL directly with hex bytes is a better programming example.

[@8bitandmore]

You can replace the line that contains the DLIST label with: DLIST 112,112,66,0,0,2,16,66,0,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,65,0 or DLIST $70,$70,$42,$0,0,$2,$10,$42,$0,$0,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$2,$41,$0

[@timmyt1232]

@@8bitandmore Thank you. I tried the hex way without the '$' for the 0's and 2's to allow it to fit on one line. I like the character way because it takes up less space (definitely for line 70). Mac/65 will convert from decimal to hex and vice-versa. Too bad it won't convert decimal or hexadecimal to character.

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

DOOD! Good choice with the Brother printer.

[@DigitalArtDeco]

Nice to hear from you again. I have been looking for an original MAC/65 cartridge for a long time. Does anyone here have one for sale? 😀

Any ideas on how to use c with Atari or c64 using Microsoft visual studio? I know you can but don't know how to install it into mvs

[@lorensims4846]

next he'll be wanting a modern web browser that runs on 8-bit computers. The only C I found for the Atari 800 was APX's Deep Blue C that used *( and *) for the brace characters ATASCII doesn't have and it doesn't support structures or unions.

[@spearPYN]

@@lorensims4846 C on Atari does not make sense IMHO. You can use cc65 on Linux.
