Make the "z80asm" assembler place an instruction at a known memory address

The problem with Z80ASM specifically is that it takes the assembly input and spits out a static binary file. This is good and bad. … ORG tells the assembler what the starting (origin -- thus ORG) address is for the upcoming assembly code. …

Forth assembly is also typically done in small chunks. … Finally it represents the nature of a bunch of assembly code arranged to fit on a single 1K byte, 64x16 screen of Forth source code. …

When did assembly source code begin to be written in lowercase?

That said, I'm pretty sure when I was doing assembly back in the early 80s, I, too, used uppercase "because assembly". But, yea, typing in upper case is a pain in the neck, frankly. …

Working on programming a retro z80 computer (SDCC error)

The problem is that you're trying to access the function parameter data, but the compiler does not expose that as a symbol to the internal assembler, so it's looking in the public, global namespace fo …

Z80 to x86 asm translator?

I'm going to say "No" simply because the 8086 doesn't support the alternate registers of the Z80. That was a fairly important concept that you can not directly mimic on the 8086. Mind, if you're willi …
