for ease of use, a simple gui could be constructed.

I can't imagine somebody knowing SPC700 ASM and not being able to use a command line. As for long paths, copy+pase FTW. You can put paths with spaces in them in quotes: del "C:\Some place\wherever\a file I don't want.txt"

Also, batch files are just multiple commands:
@echo off
color 1e
title Command Prompt
echo Command prompt for %USERNAME% on %COMPUTERNAME%
echo Current time is %TIME%, %DATE%
echo System uptime:
uptime
echo.
echo Scheduled tasks:
at
echo.
echo Enter command:
if "%1" EQU "" goto default_dir

cd /d "%*"
goto :EOF

:default_dir

There is a difference between something being unknown/difficult to you and something being annoying to you. Command line is annoying, and batch files are annoying. You can copy+paste in a batch file though, whereas you cannot in a DOS environment.

So basically to make command line convenient you need to learn to use batch files, which grow more archaic every day.

I'll agree with you there. Batch scripts are powerful but making them can be a major pain.

A useless GUI is also a pain. For me, the command line is the best place assemblers and disassemblers belong. Not to mention that they're the easiest programs to port. For an SPC-700 (dis)assembler, the most complex thing is math and file I/O; really the only porting problems you should encounter if you write a program correctly is endianness.

0CA9: C5 F3 00 MOV $00F3,A ; Dsp registers $00v4 through $00v7. See SPC docs for more info.
0CAC: 3D INC X ; The loop writes to the SRCN, ADSR1 and ADSR2, and Gain.
0CAD: FC INC Y
0CAE: AD 04 CMP Y,#$04

0CB0: D0 F2 BNE $0CA4

0CB2: CE POP X
0CB3: F7 14 MOV A,($14)+Y
0CB5: D5 21 02 MOV $0221+X,A ; This is a big endian encoding. The last 2 bytes of the six byte instrument block
0CB8: FC INC Y ; Are stored to [$0220-1]+X
0CB9: F7 14 MOV A,($14)+Y
0CBB: D5 20 02 MOV $0220+X,A
0CBE: 6F RET


SRCN = source number or the index into the sample table. This denotes what sample to use.

ADSR1 and ADSR2, and GAIN are a little more complicated and you should find some documentation. The last two bytes of the block are... some kind of multipliers for the instrument that I haven't totally figured out yet. It's a lot of code to look through and a lot of guesswork at first.

Thanks. This comes in very handy seeing as I apparently lost what Bouche told me about the instrument table's format.

my thoughts exactly. and seeing how every option with an assembler can be handled by switches, there really would be no point in coding a gui.

i have no knowledge of the SPC-700. is the math you are refering to specific to it, or do you mean operators like:

lda somelabel + 1
