My my my, it has been over two
years since I’ve done any major updates, sorry about that. I have other more important things to deal
with right now. You probably won’t see
much updates for a long while still, I have plenty to do, but I’ll make sure
this all stays up just to be sure. I
have included below, a list of people who have contributed minor fixes here
and there. These are the people who
have fixed the site in the past three years, and this is my small token of
thanks. I’ve
also “started” a split disassembly recently of NHL 94 for the In
the mean time, have some more music~

An
update! I'd recommend going into Part 07 of Sections 06 first, because a homework
challenge has been put in place at the bottom of that page, Part 08 is obviously
the answers, so you'll wanna try working it out
yourself first. Meanwhile,
have some music:

A
little clean up here and there, nothing major. I wanted to seperate
the older updates into their own page, as the YouTube
embeds were slowing the page loading down. |

Section
06 is now
coming to an end. Now featuring a
multitude of conditional branches. If
anyone notices any mistakes, be sure to give me an email. I wrote a lot of stuff today in such a
short period of time, it’s easy to make the slightest mistake. |

Well
hot damn!! It’s been a long while,
hasn’t it? I think I owe you guys an explanation... I’ve
been extremely busy with a lot of things, namely an art editor that looks
like Windows XP paint, but for Mega Drive VDP graphics: http://mrjester.hapisan.com/03_Private/ZoomA.PNG http://mrjester.hapisan.com/03_Private/ZoomB.PNG Additionally,
I’ve been doing various things to my game, here’s a little insight for you,
featuring a new idle animation:
Pretty
sweet huh? I’m
gonna be working on rewriting Section 05 of the tutorial and then adding some things onto it. From now on, you’ll find a “new” tag at the
beginning of ones that have been changed or updated, so you know which ones
to read again if there’s been a mistake or whatever.
In
the mean time, have some Kylie Minogue! Also, a special thanks to: Tomislav, Ardeshir, and Tim. For
pointing out various mistakes in previous pages d= |

Happy
Halloween!! And
with that, we have a Section 05!! Also,
have another music video, something a little more modern, recommended to me
by my favourite aussie, Flygon:
If
these YouTube video embeds are causing you too much
loading time, just give me a bell via my email, and I’ll revert the older
embeds to links. |

So
I’ve taken the time to clean up Section 04, the parts have been shuffled around slightly. If
you’ve read through Section 04, so far and don’t wish to re-read what you’ve already
read. Then simply take a look at part 01,
part 04 and then continue from part 08 onwards. The other parts in this section are pretty
much the same, just cleaned up a little (spellings, grammar, etc). Sorry
for the inconvenience. |

Sorry
for the lack of parts this past week. I
work in a deli factory you see, and the people who have been put in charge of
the factory make a lot of stupid mistakes.
This costs the main company money, and results in the lack of
equipment and staff. We operatives go
through hell most days, its bad enough having to wake up at 4-5am. I’m
not here to complain about that though. My
main point is, I lack the time and energy to do multiple projects at once
during the week, and so, I have to do a bit of juggling between the projects. Here’s
what I’ve been up to recently: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P76b9Wgocs
Pretty
cool huh? I’ll
be getting back to more instructions soon. |

Bit
shifting and rotation have been put up to the site now, they may need a
little cleaning up, so I’ll have to go over them later on at some point (you
know, check for spelling errors, mistakes in the rules, etc). In
the mean time, have some 90’s Italo House music:

The
binary section is now complete, and I’m looking into signed and unsigned, and
instructions that deal with positive and negative. Might be able to get up to (and pass) the divs/divu instruction (that’s where the previous version
of the tutorial stopped). |

Some
minor clean up, and a few things added here and there, and some mistakes have
been rectified (a special thanks to FraGag for
reporting them). On
subject, I was thinking of creating a FAQ or Q&A page, but of course, I’d
need some questions first... Any
questions? I don’t claim to know
everything, but I’d be happy to try and answer what I can. |

The
instruction “addi” for immediate values has been
explained and added to the “add” instruction page. The “sub” instruction page is now available
too. I
shall press on with the simpler instructions like “swap”, “exg” and “clr”, so expect them
to pop up sometime during the evening. In
the mean time, have some 80’s music:

And
we’re back ladies and gentlemen. I
had an attack of consciousness about a week ago. A few programming experienced individuals
said that the tutorial wasn’t worth doing at this much of a basic level, and
that stuff such as binary/hex and basic stuff like that should be left out. I
originally agreed with them as they did make a few points. But given that I received a good load of emails
reporting the tutorial gone when I took it down last week, it’s clear to me
that they appear to be wrong about the tutorial. I mean given the tutorial to receive
positive feedback from people who the tutorial is actually designed for... Why
are experts generally uptight and negative in their area of expertise towards
newcomers? Maybe
they have a too higher standard, who knows...
Either way, I don’t think I’ll sink to that level. OH!! By the way!! Scroll
down for a little insight into what I’ve been using 68k for ;) |

Wow,
what a great holiday... It’s great to
be back though! I
did however, hit a little snag with hotmail, it seems it was trying to be
“clever”. When I signed in online
abroad, it locked me out requesting a phone number, thinking it was
protecting me. I’ve
gotta tell ya folks,
technology is becoming tedious these days, so much protection even I can’t access my account. SO! New email address, this time with Gmail, I’ve not been much of a fan of Google, but
everyone I’ve asked have said that it’s one of the few decent e-mail services
out there. Regarding
the tutorial, it’s still going! Got a
results part for that homework in, finally.
Sorry about that folks (should have done it before I went on holiday). |

An
update on registers and the basic set out of an instruction, this time a
little more info on address registers. Additionally,
I’ll be on holiday for the entire week, so I won’t be contributing any
further until I get back. In
the mean time, have some music:

rewrite begins! I have here a section where you’ll be kept up to date with
the progress, at least now you’ll know how long ago the last update was =P |
