ive been doing asm for about a year now and i feel like i can only just now say that i've become pretty decent at it. but there is still a lot i need to learn i just don't know what those things are. i do know that i would like to learn how to edit basic programs from within an asm program.

Now, when you say edit, do you mean: 1) Open up the program editor to allow the user to edit the program, or 2) Actually edit the program from an assembly program?

In both cases, the way to do it is very hard

For 1. You are looking at top programmer hacking to figure out how it's done, however, I could always just give you the routine to do it

For 2. Actually editing the program isn't all that difficult, you'll need some help getting started, but once you see how the Edit Buffer works, you should be ok. The only way 2 would be super hard would be if you want to actually display what you are editing to the screen, this requires lots of OS routines and is pretty bad.

Well if you will that would be nice i didn't realize it would be that difficult but i can always take it one byte at a time.

@DRAGONLORD777: Are you wanting to edit the bytes in the program or do you want to edit it like the program editor? Editing like from the program editor is going to require some trickery to do it right. Editing the data directly is pretty easy, though

Editing like Mimas will take a lot of work o.o I wish you luck on that The basic way to edit bytes directly is to:

Get the name of the program in OP1 (with the proper Obj byte first, the name, then a zero byte)
Use bcall(_ChkFindSym) to get necessary pointers to the data
Use these pointers to edit data.

I am not sure how well the code is that I posted in the other topic for showing this...

Yeah, that is the truth Have you ever checked out zStart? That has some cool features I am not sure if it has copy/paste functionality (I cannot remember), but I think it does if you have the TI-84+ or an SE. Check the info in his signature:

i tried zstart and it erased eveything off of my calc so i guess it's a good thing that i have two

O.o What model do you have and what OS did you have? That is odd behavior for zStart o.O

EDIT: Also, was there a GarbageCollect at some point, too, after it was installed? And did yuo have other apps that you ran? Something could have conflicted .__.

^This. Also, were your stuff archived ?
