6502-reasm v1.0.0

6502-reasm

6502 disassembler and (re)assembler

Allows disassembling any sequence of bytes to a unique disassembly text, and reassembling the assembly text to the same bytes (fully roundtrippable). Includes support for illegal opcodes with multiple mneumonic aliases, and truncated operands represented by xx.

Intended for disassembling a ROM (or a part of a ROM), editing the assembly to patch it, and reassembling with the changes. See also: nes-game-genie and nes-file.

Example:

    const {disasm, formatDisasm, reasm} = require('6502-reasm');

    // returns an array, one element per instruction
    const lines = disasm([0x78, 0xd8, 0xa9, 0x10, 0x8d, 0x00, 0x20, 0xa2, 0xff, 0x9a, 0xad, 0x02, 0x20, 0x10, 0xfb, 0xad]);

    // returns a verbosely formatted text string, same as passed below
    const formattedDisassembly = formatDisasm(lines);

    // returns an array of bytes, identical as passed to disasm() above
    reasm(`\
