Applying an ASM?

[Strokend]

So, XKas Assembler is no longer available, yet it was the only tool suggested for ASMs. How do I apply an ASM to a rom without it?

Xkas has been called as "bad" by the author byuu, I think, so he has released a new assembler for the 65816 and spc700 called "bass"
I think you only need to add "[xkas]" to the beginning of the asm, if it is throwing errors when used

Also, xkas can still be found by googling, but I suggest you not to download obsolete tools like that one

Uhh, I can't seem to get it to do anything. It seems to launch a console or something and immediately closes it.

Open up start menu, enter "cmd" into the search field and then press enter
Then a black window opens. Move bass onto it.
Then the usage is written on screen. If you want to patch, simply move the progam, the rom and the asm on screen. That should do it then

...That resulted in it telling me I did it wrong. Adding in spaces didn't help, either, as it just gave me the instructions again and I was still left with the base rom.

SNESStuff. You can use it to apply ASM. :^_^:

If its are cmd window way your dont make it like this:
make ar new txt temp and write this line in to it:
xkas or bass metroid.smc asm.asm
and save it as name.bat  make sure its in the same directory as the smc file the xkas.exe bass.exe file and the asm file.
If the files not at the same location its are littel bit diffrent.
xkas and or bass dont output anything only if your type somthing like this
xkas -h
or make are bat file like i say above with xkas -h then your dont need to run the cmd window it will popup and stay open.

Man, none of these tools make any sense. SNESStuff looked promising due to actually having a GUI, but I can't seem to tell it what Rom I'm using.

You click one of the things (in this case you want to click "Insert ASM patch using xkas") and then it asks for whatever files it needs.

Using Xkas 0.6, this ALWAYS works for me, put both your rom and asm file in the same directory as the Xkas Application, then name your ASM File the same name as your rom file, then drag the ASM File over the Xkas.exe application and let go. That should automatically apply the ASM file to any SMC file with the same name as the ASM, and all you have to do is unzip the download and then follow this instruction I gave you...Hope this helps...
