8-Bit Show And Tell | The Commodore 64 Assembler With A Deliberate Bug: Zeus64 @8_Bit | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
The Zeus 64 6510 machine language assembler package for the Commodore 64 has a bug lurking in it. Like, an actual digital bee or fly type thing that will buzz around your screen if you happen to send a particular instruction. Join me as we uncover this insect, and take a tour around its home, examining the features of this assembler and machine language monitor operating system.
The Zeus64 source code example is a port from my original Turbo Macro Pro source which I went on about in great detail in this previous video called "Commodore 64 Programming Joystick-Controlled Sprites in Assembly PART TWO" - youtu.be/LSP5C49pq_g
