I already converted it to Usgard. Check the version on Icarus if you want to
see what needed to be changed. It looks like I might also take over the
project, but Andreas still needs to decide. There aren't many things you need
to change going from ZShell to Usgard. The main thing is that call CALL_()s
and JUMP_() are replaced with just call &addr and jp &addr. You also have to
change loading of things in the game, but that is totally different. See
below:
ld hl,NAME
ld de,(PROGRAM_ADDR)
add hl,de
becomes:
ld hl,&NAME
where name is:
NAME:
.db "name",0
Hope that helped. There are tons of other things you can still convert to
Usgard tho :) I just beat you to WOZ :)
