This is a set of tools to learn and modify machine language code for the Atari 800. Currently the tools are:
- patcher : A simple patcher that takes a XEX file and text file with intructions to create a new modified XEX file
- a8disam : A powerful disassembler to create a buildable ASM file with full labels, comments and more.
I know there are similar tools available but I wanted to have something that I can modify at will. Also I wanted the tools to run natively on Linux and/or Unix systems.
These tools have been used to improve the game Screaming Wings for Atari. There is a full post (in spanish) about the methods used to create a better version of this game.
