ZX Spin emulator, built-in assembly errors

2.4k views Asked by At

I'm having problems understanding how to get an assembly file to run inside the ZX Spin emulator using the built-in assembler. I'm able to assemble my program but it seems to crash each time I attempt to run the assembled object code.

I cannot find any documentation on how this is meant to be set to run.

The message I get with version is v0.7:

Access violation at address 0060470C in module 'ZXSpin.exe'. Write of address 05603622"

Any help on getting this working with the most simple of assembly files would be great.

I found that version 0.7 had a bug in the assembler as that part was no longer being maintained and subsequently had been broken between releases.

I tried the previous version and it worked correctly (so I made a wonderful dot). Thanks to anyone who helped out with this. Can't recall the forum where I was provided with that info, but thanks :)

I had that error too with both 0.7 and 0.66 version, but I've found a solution. Get to Tools/Options/System and change "When no longer active application" to "Keep running with sound"

I'm using version 0.666. Try to set a conditional breakpoint.
