It was a beginner's guide. I was a beginner when I started it. And I wrote it because at the time, drx's was the only ASM guide out there and I struggled to understand it.

I did put this at the beginning:

Introduction

Welcome, to my ASM guide. Now, before we start, I am still learning ASM fully myself, so, there may be some bugs still in this guide. So, it is important to ALWAYS back-up your hack-work before making changes. Plus, I'm using Sonic 2 disassembly, so this guide is based on Sonic 2. If you're hacking Sonic 1 or something else, you can read on, but the activities will be different.

Although, like said, any bugs or incorrect stuff you do point out is greatly apreciated.

On one side I agree with Oerg, it really contains a lot of information, which doesn't really teach beginners in the right way or leading them to the right direction. On the other hand, it really is meant to be a beginner's guide and therefore more like "What are these commands doing at all?".

That said, maybe a great revamp or simply making a complete new guide wouldn't hurt.

BTW, changing the topic title to "[General] Beginner ASM Guide".

Hello MarkeyJester,

I got to know that you felt very offended by my above posts. I don't know exactly why, and I'm sure that you misunderstood some parts wrong, however I feel it is only appropriate that I speak out a public apology towards you as I have not meant to offend either RHS or you.

Therefore I hereby revert my corrections to this guide.

If you read this, rest assured that I very much respect you, and I hope you can look past it. I hope no hard feelings have evolved from this little incident.

Have a nice day,
Oerg866

I weren't offended at all. Like said, I like to recieve corrections =P

To edit ASM, I only have to edit the .ASM file with a text editor right? (I honestly know nothing about hacking)

I believe I am not bumping this thread because it is pinned. Please correct me If i am wrong.

Yes, that's right. Although I recommend using a better program than just notepad. Context is what I use.

No, this wasn't bumping. Infact, the simple fact that you were worried about bumping makes me happier than anything else.

hey Redhotsonic, I'd like to see what I should download to start working with ASM...

[redhotsonic]

Oh no... You just don't get it, do you? I've already told you how to do everything, and you need to get a disssembly first.

Hey tuvit1997, how about that second account you made because your original account was sent to Limbo early. Fuck off!
