Re: A82: Same Game Suggestions (a.k.a. SGS)
Unfortunatly it is not possible to make asm programs using your idea. The
reason for this is very simpel, not all values are used by TI. This makes
it impossible to make some values (for exampel 00), and therefore it is
not possibleto make an asm program. (00 is used in the header of ash
programs). It ahould be possible to make an assembler on the ti82, i have
seen a z80 asmsembler taking up app 4k. However i do not think it is a
good idea to make one anyway.
