Spectrum Computing

marenja Thanks for the feedback. I created a new repository with snapshots included. Let me know if it's not clear how to get it up and running. https://github.com/Colourclash/LaserSquad I will try to create a skool file if I get the chance. Don't try to read the analysis.json file. It's not meant ...

That looks so neat! I really love the ability to watch the hidden movement phases - SpectrumAnalyser looks to have so many powerful ways to explore and tweak the code - excited to see how that development progresses. I still haven't had much time beyond merging to hunt down the things i'm curious a...

I've been disassembling Laser Squad recently with Spectrum Analyser. I'm still in the early days but I've already figured a few things out. Using the new Lua feature I've written a real-time map viewer that shows you the entire map while the game is running. It's quite cool because you can see the C...

I remember the tool when you first released it. Loved the concept but I struggled to get it running at the time. I tried again earlier this year and was sort of able to get it running, but it still didn't play well with macos. It's not my tool actually. I'm just helping out with releases and stuff....

Good work on the disassembly! I've enjoyed browsing your work online. It would be a shame to see you stop. Have you considered using the Spectrum Analyser tool? It's drastically improved my progress on doing disassemblies. The end result can be the same, as it supports exporting to skoolkit format. ...

Very cool tool, thanks a lot! Few comments after using it on a linux box. These seem to be minor and may not deserve a proper issue (surely can file one, if necessary): Rom i nfo.json should be Rom I nfo.json It is necessary to manually create Configs SaveStates AnalysisJson AnalysisState and Graph...

A new build was uploaded of Spectrum Analyser.

Sorry, it's been so long since the last one! There have been a lot of changes since the last build. Too many to list.

I created a Discord server if anyone wants to come and chat about Spectrum Analyser. https://discord.gg/VQ3m6W4ZRu If anyone is going to Crash Live tomorrow I will be there along with the main developer. Will be wearing Spectrum Analyser T-Shirts. :lol: Come and say Hi! SparkyNZ Thank you! Glad you ...

If you convert graphics from the Spectrum to the VIC-20 bear in mind the sprites will look extra fat, as the VIC-20 had a much lower width screen and fat pixels. This may or may not bother you. For example miner willy on the VIC-20 looks like he's been bulking up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mq...

You could use Spectrum Analyser. The debugger in it is quite powerful.

Are you reverse engineering a game? If so, that is what it is designed for.

There is a new build available. New features: - Event viewer (see first screenshot) - Branch lines in code analysis view (see second screenshot) Bugfixes: - fix for crash after loading the tool after previously saving game data. https://colourclash.co.uk/SpectrumAnalyser.zip Enjoy! https://i.postimg...

Another build is available :) Bugfixes - Lots New features: - RZX support - Trace step feature (can trace program execution without affecting program counter) 128k support is now rolled into the main build. Get it from here: https://colourclash.co.uk/SpectrumAnalyser.zip All feedback welcome :mrgreen:

There is an experimental 128k build available now. You can download it here: https://colourclash.co.uk/SpectrumAnalyser128k.zip To run the tool in 128k mode you must launch it with the argument "-128" (without the quotes). If you start it without the argument it will be in 48k mode. Let me...

Bedazzle Great feedback. Thanks! - to put into file not all the memory disasm, but selected range (by lines or addresses); This feature was added in the latest build. See this post: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=111047#p111047 Please try it and let us know what you think.

New build just got uploaded. Changes: - Fix problem with graphics view. - Can now specify an address range when exporting an ASM file. - "ROM" checkbox in labels list now defaults to off. https://colourclash.co.uk/SpectrumAnalyser.zip Oh, and I need to re-iterate, Spectrum Analyser is not ...

I am creating a thread for announcing new releases of Spectrum Analyser. This is so people can be kept up to date on what changes between releases and also to be notified whenever there is a new release. :) If you don't know what Spectrum Analyser is, it's a tool for reverse engineering Spectrum gam...

Glad you got it working! Let me know if you have any feedback or find any bugs.

Unpacking fresh analyser copy from archive fixed this. Trying to do some disasm.

You could use Spectrum Aanalyser to tell you which code puts the herbs in their spots. Do you know the memory location of the herbs? I could try and look here.

I've been told a Linux/Mac build is going to be worked on. It's built on ImGui, which is a cross platform API, so hopefully won't be that hard.

Strange, it's been working on Windows 11 all along for me. Hopefully that was a one-off quirk.

@Bedazzle How are you finding the tool?

Spectrum Analyser currently supports Windows 10 and above. More information on the tool here (including a walkthrough video):

https://colourclash.co.uk/spectrum-analyser/

Forgot to mention, the tool can now import and export to the Skoolkit skool format. It needs some proper documentation on how to do this. Please note, the skool file import feature is very much WIP. It can produce weird results as not every skool file feature is supported. By all means report issues...

The tool is still being worked on and has many new features since the last build. You can download the tool and find out more here: https://colourclash.co.uk/spectrum-analyser/ You can find a walkthrough video on the site showing you how it works. Please report any problems or feedback. (It's not my...

Done. Nice one. Thanks for listening :) You don't. Why would you want to know? Are skool files from previous versions of SkoolKit compatible with later versions of SkoolKit then? The reason I mention it is because I had a skool file that I found online that I couldn't work with (can't remember what...

Oh yeah, thanks. I added the org option and now it creates a working snapshot. :) (Might be nice to put a comment on the FAQ so other people don't make the same mistake? I presumed it would transfer the org address over) Here is another question. How do you know the version of SkoolKit a skool file ...
