HorvatM (http://www.planetvb.com/userinfo.php?uid=930) has released a new, superior assembler for the V810 processor used in the Virtual Boy, called simply "Matej's V810 assembler" or "MV810ASM" in short.
Quote:
It has a working expression evaluator, local labels/identifiers, can automatically assign addresses to global variables, supports VB-specific instructions, recognizes both the "$" and "r" way of referring to registers, automatically aligns everything, has clear error messages, and you can just use it in any way you want. It also has a ROM-hacking mode with which you can apply a hack to a ROM in one step, no hex editing required.
You can get it for multiple platforms on Matej's Website (http://matejhorvat.si/en/software/mv810asm/). For more info and discussions check out the respective forum thread (http://www.planetvb.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=5935&forum=2&post_id=30880).
Also check out the source to Matej's Faceball control scheme hack (http://www.planetvb.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=4817&forum=2&post_id=30881#forumpost30881) for a practical ROM hacking example.
