This is an advanced disassembler for the CE. If you ever wanted to look at the OS without being able to grab CEmu, this is the right place to be! You can either disassemble the OS or any assembly/C/ICE program. Including syntax highlighting and fast scrolling, this program is a must-have for looking inside your calculator.
The source can be found on GitHub.
- Disassembling the OS
- Disassembling any assembly/C/ICE program
- Syntax highlighting
- (Fast) scrolling
- Jumping to address or equate
- Customizing output format
Run prgmCEDISASM from the homescreen, or select the program from a shell. This will
pop up a screen where you can select whether you want to disassemble the OS or a program.
Select an option with the [UP] and [DOWN] keys, and press [Enter] to confirm.
Pressing [Clear] will exit the program. If you selected programs, a new screen is shown
with all the found programs. Select one with again the [UP] and [DOWN] keys, and press
[Enter] to confirm. Pressing [Clear] returns to the main screen.
Now you're in the disassembler screen, cool! It should be pretty straightforward, use the
[UP] and [DOWN] keys for scrolling. [Y=] is useful for fast scrolling up, one page
at a time and [Window] scrolls fast down, one page at a time. Pressing [Trace] brings
up a popup where you can enter an address or equate. Different modes are available,
namely num mode, alpha uppercase mode, and alpha mode. Switching between them goes via the
[Alpha] key. In num mode, you can enter numbers, in alpha mode you can enter letters,
either uppercase or not. Press [Enter] to jump to that address or equate. Exiting this
popup is possible via [Clear].
The last screen is the settings screen, available via the [Graph] key. Here you set some
settings about the disassembly. Select the right row with the [UP] and [DOWN] keys,
then press [LEFT] or [RIGHT] to switch modes. If you're unsure what these do, just try
it out! Pressing [Enter] or [Clear] applies the modes and goes back to the disassembly
screen.
To build, download and install the CE C Toolchain
and run make from the command line. This generates an .8xp file in the bin/ directory,
which you can move to your calculator or CEmu. To build an appvar with all the OS equates
in it, first run $ python convert.py or $ python3 convert.py to build the assembly
file, then fasmg equates.asm to generate the appvar, equates.8xv. Move this file to
your calculator or CEmu. Be sure to put it in RAM! That is necessary, since CEDISASM looks
at the 2 big jump tables in the OS and inserts more equates. After the first disassembly,
you can move the appvar to the Archive, since the equates will stay the same.
- zdis is used for disassembling code.
- Many people on Cemetech for helping me picking a proper name.
20:44:19 <PT_> Hmm I need a nice name for my program
20:46:10 <saxjax_> [D] <LogicalJoe> Dasmce
20:47:37 <Zeroko> Potassium...element that disassembles things...aww, 9 characters. Sodium? Or Fluorine in the opposite direction.
20:48:04 <saxjax_> [D] <LogicalJoe> Potato
20:48:14 <Zeroko> But elements
20:48:35 <Zeroko> I am mostly joking. Not everything on the CE has to be an element.
20:49:45 <PT_> CEDIS?
20:49:54 <Zeroko> I had "CEdis" typed in my input buffer...
20:50:03 <PT_> Heh
20:50:26 <Adriweb> prgmGETMEASM
20:50:37 <PT_> GETMYASM* you mean? :P
20:50:42 <Adriweb> GetMeAsm
20:50:46 <Adriweb> Well sure
20:50:57 <PT_> GIMMEASM
20:51:08 <Adriweb> that works too
20:51:38 <saxjax_> [D] <calc84maniac> why don't you CE dis assembly
20:51:40 <saxjax_> [D] <calc84maniac> *runs*
20:52:42 <Zeroko> deCEasm...pronounce like "decease 'em"
20:53:01 <Zeroko> I like "CEdis" better than that.
20:53:39 <Zeroko> "deCEasm" sounds more like what TI did.
20:57:11 <Adriweb> prgmCEETHRU ?
20:57:17 <Adriweb> Meh
20:59:24 <MateoC> DISASM
21:02:23 <saxjax_> [D] <calc84maniac> CEDISASM, pronounced "see dis asm"
21:03:17 <saxjax_> [D] <kg583> DisCErn
21:03:42 <saxjax_> [D] <LogicalJoe> "Dis-right-now"
21:03:52 <saxjax_> [D] <LogicalJoe> dice*
21:04:23 <saxjax_> [D] <kg583> DICE ain't bad actually
21:07:34 <Zeroko> If it needs CE, I like calc84maniac's suggestion the best so far.
21:16:21 <saxjax_> [D] <epsilon5> Maybe some play on assembly/destruction
21:16:58 <saxjax_> [D] <kg583> DISaster
21:17:03 <saxjax_> [D] <kg583> er, too long
21:17:12 <saxjax_> [D] <LogicalJoe> 8 chars?
21:17:23 <saxjax_> [D] <kg583> I can't count
21:18:05 <saxjax_> [D] <epsilon5> I actually like diCE a lot
21:18:14 <saxjax_> [D] <kg583> it's catchy
21:18:26 <saxjax_> [D] <Oxiti8> Doesnt make much sense for an assembler tho
21:18:33 <saxjax_> [D] <kg583> it's a disassembler
21:18:44 <saxjax_> [D] <epsilon5> Stands for disassembler CE
21:19:01 <saxjax_> [D] <LogicalJoe> maybe diCEr
21:19:02 <saxjax_> [D] <Oxiti8> Yeah but it sounds like a probability simulator program with dice
21:19:20 <saxjax_> [D] <epsilon5> disCE
21:19:25 <saxjax_> [D] <epsilon5> Pronounced "disk"
21:19:39 <saxjax_> [D] <kg583> that's gonna be pronounced "dissee"
21:20:36 <saxjax_> [D] <epsilon5> Fine I'll just keep adding letters
21:20:49 <saxjax_> [D] <epsilon5> disaCE
21:20:55 <saxjax_> [D] <Oxiti8> ASMzxCEh
21:20:56 <saxjax_> [D] <epsilon5> We're not going to say disassCE
21:21:40 <saxjax_> [D] <matkeller19> disaCEm
21:22:26 <saxjax_> [D] <epsilon5> Oh that's good
21:22:47 <saxjax_> [D] <kg583> "dis-ace-em"
21:22:55 <saxjax_> [D] <Oxiti8> Dis a see em
21:24:36 <saxjax_> [D] <epsilon5> Dis a cem
21:24:46 <saxjax_> [D] <epsilon5> Maybe some play on on-calc
21:24:53 <saxjax_> [D] <epsilon5> Like onDisCE
21:25:00 <saxjax_> [D] <epsilon5> Pronounced on 'dis CE
21:25:38 <saxjax_> [D] <epsilon5> On-Calc Disassembler CE
