• Looks super cool...

    I built a similar thing, primarily for my own fun. As a reaction to various C64 tools being scattered/old/unsupported exes and often with not OSX builds, my approach was to build a low-friction web app, which I could mess around with easily across whatever machine I was sitting in front of, whenever I had a few moments (kids...)

    https://46c.io/

    Examples : https://46c.io/project/NVXAZ7JY/code/ram/0E2B https://46c.io/project/8VM2EY7T/library

    Basically : select a byte (or a range with shift) and use the buttons at the top to tag it with some metadata like a label, a comment, mark it as the lo/hi byte of a pointer etc - and it'll update the disassembly immediately. It saves all your work in browser local storage by default but if you sign in you can work from 'the cloud' (cheapo Firebase account) - I haven't shared widely before so no idea how that will hold up to the HN effect...

    Enjoy!

    • Fantastic work. I especially like the Code view, but when combined all together it looks amazing. The minimal settings seem just the right size and look as well.

      I need this web page somehow linked up to me in 1984-88.

    • Loved the examples!
  • Nice to see an MCP integration here as well. In my experience, coding agents are great at analyzing MOS6502 code. Because the code is limited to only 64 kB, it does not overwhelm the agent. And in parallel it can write specs and even extract assets via normal coding tools.

    Using my similar tool [0], I feel I get roughly a 100x speedup. I will definitely try regenerator2000.

  • One thing I’ve always found tricky when reversing C64 code is self-modifying code, pretty much every game and demo uses STA to patch operands at runtime. Does the auto-analysis flag writes into code regions, or is that something you’d handle manually with the VICE debugger integration?
  • Nice. Please add support for NES.
  • Ricardo Quesada is also one of the creators of cocos2d, he's been around for a while!
  • Wish I had something like that when I was coding demos around 1988... :-)

    (Edit): you kids have it easy.

    • I grew up in the 80's programming my C64, assuming that this would be more or less the sort of thing I'd be doing for a living. The reality is actually pretty disappointing. I _wish_ anybody still did this stuff.
