Would be nice if disassembly view supported 65C02 opcodes (Master). about bbcb_dfs_catalog HOT 5 OPEN

Added as a nice to have for now :-)

Thanks.

I wrote the disassembler. The vast majority of programs on the bbcmicro website are for 6502. I am not sure whether it is possible to detect whether the code is 6502 or 65C02 and behave accordingly. Metadata in the database wouldn't necessarily help as two files on the same disc could potentially be targetted at the different CPUs. Then there is the problem of the undocumented opcodes, which again I chose to ignore. Do you have any idea how to solve this issue?

@pai1ie not just yet no. I believe if you dig through some of JGH's technical doc's he has a couple of possible detection methods, BUT... they do rather depend on running code on the CPU in question to detect them.

I'll have a think though, see what I can come up with.

A simpler alternative might be a GUI option, so tick the box if you want to view the disassembly as 65C02, rather than trying to auto-detect?

@kieranhj yes I would agree, simple is always best. There will however always be the small minority that will complain at that and ask "why doesn't it do the work for me" :-)
