I have an old model calc, though. =/
I do as well, and I've never encountered that problem.

I have had issues with Instant Goto and CalcUtil, but Darl has reported that before.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

The nib{} command cannot read the nibbles where itself is located, just putting that out there and thanks to Runer for tracking it down :)

The nibble reading bug should pretty much never happen, since it will only occur if you try to read from one of 6 bytes inside the routine itself. I could see this bug maybe cropping up in something like a memory viewer program, but that's about it.

However, the old nibble reading routines were only 1-3 bytes larger than the current ones, so I think it may just be best to revert the changes. I would suggest reverting the $0000-$7FFF routine as well, because if the user had switched a RAM page into the $4000 slot with the help of assembly, the "application" nibble reading routine would have even worse effects than the RAM reading routine, as it would always corrupt the target data. Be sure to get the endianness of the old nibble-reading routines correct, though.

There isn't really a need to revert changes to the nibble writing routine, because if the user is writing a nibble inside of the routine, they're in trouble no matter what routine is being used.

Code: (Original routine: 18 bytes, ~72 cycles) [Select]
p_Nib1:
.db __Nib1End-$-1
scf
rr h
rr l
ld a,(hl)
jr c,__Nib1Skip
rrca
rrca
rrca
rrca
__Nib1Skip:
and %00001111
ld l,a
ld h,0
ret
__Nib1End:
   
Code: (Optimized routine: 17 bytes, ~105 cycles) [Select]
p_Nib1:
.db __Nib1End-$-1
xor a
scf
rr h
rr l
ld b,(hl)
__Nib1Loop:
rrd
ccf
jr c,__Nib1Loop
ld (hl),b
ld l,a
ld h,0
ret
__Nib1End:

Code: (Original routine: 18 bytes, ~68 cycles) [Select]
p_Nib2:
.db __Nib2End-$-1
srl h
rr l
ld a,(hl)
jr c,__Nib2Skip
rrca

Haha!  Interesting bug, unintentional self-modifying code... And Runer, isn't that 2nd piece of code only 17 bytes?  That's only a 2 byte total increase in size.

I count 18 bytes.

No, he's right. The old p_Nib2 routine is only 17 bytes. I guess that's even more reason to simply revert the changes.

I've got a fake mem clear program compiled in 0.4.7 and it's now complete, but for some reason, it doesn't work when compiled in 0.5.1 and when I do a fake ram clear, the screen goes a little random.  NEED HELP (plus i need a few optimizations)

Try posting the source. We should be able to identify the problem if we would know what commands you are using.

Can you post your source code? It would be helpful.

Remember that memory leak?
Well, I've traced it back to ERR:BLOCK.
Something happens with ERR:BLOCK that leaves a gigantic mess behind, and it's that mess that's chewing up my memory.


EDIT: Nevermind; I was wrong.

Umm, I just compiled Aslyum as an App, ran it, and my memory went down from 350 to 0 when it exited.

If that happened at runtime, it sounds like an error in your app, not in Axe.  And I don't see why the block error would be any different than any other because all errors are handled the exact same way other than the string they print.  I really think I need a source sample to see what you're talking about...  You can always email me privately if its a project you're trying to keep secret or something.
