Welcome to **VARCem**, the Virtual Archaeological Computer EMulator.

|
**Vasm** is a multi-target, table-driven cross assembler, part of the
|
2023-04-11 13:26:04 -04:00
|
|
|
VARCem8 emulator project. It implements a general assembler block
|
|
|
|
|
with the usual (and, some less usual) features, and then uses a
|
|
|
|
|
back-end specific for a given microprocessor to generate code for
|
|
|
|
|
that processor.

HISTORY
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
2023-04-25 14:36:25 -04:00
|
|
|
Vasm has its roots in the [asm6502](https://github.com/boeckmann/asm6502)
|
|
|
|
|
project. From there on, the code was split up into modules, features
|
|
|
|
|
have been added and existing features have been improved. All this
|
|
|
|
|
did not fit within the design goals of the original project, resulting
|
|
|
|
|
in a fork so both projects can benefit.

It's free, it comes with all the sources, but it does not come with

any warranty whatsoever. You probably should not use this software to run
|
|
|
|
|
a business-critical piece of (old) software at work, for example.

|
|
|
If there is a problem with the software, please open up a GIT issue so we
|
|
|
|
|
can work on it, and/or talk to us on the IRC channel. We cannot promise a
|
|

|
|
fix, but will try the best we can !
