How to export an assembled file from VASM for disk use (Amiga)
Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2022 3:02 pm
Hi everyone,
I thought I'd pop back here as I've been giving some assembly projects a go again, but I've hit a bump in the road.
I've been using Notepad++ and VASM to do some Amiga stuff, but it dawned on me that I have no clue how to get a finished output file so I can put it on to an adf disk image. I used McGeezer's toolchain tutorial to set everything up, but it doesn't cover what to do when you want to assemble and export the code for use with disks. At the moment it just dumps the program into WinUAE's memory.
I tried pushing F6 to make some sort of export path to get a binary or something, but I just don't know what to type in. I'm not even sure if I should be using Notepad, or I need to do some command line stuff? The VASM manual seems very vague and doesn't actually show you step by step what to do, and I can't find any tutorials whatsoever on this topic, so I'm totally lost.
Thanks. Any info would be great!
