"If you're playing Ocarina of Time on a watch, you will never in a trillion years experience the game. You'll think you have experienced it, but you'll be cheated. It's such a sadness, that you think you've played a game on your fucking watch."

I bought SAS/C for Amiga development. It was pretty spendy for me, and I don't think one could use it without a hard drive. No idea about assembly options. AMOS was very popular among hobbyists.

I'm relieved you have some relief. What you've been through ... heartbreaking.

The JMP ($xxFF) bug on the original 6502: indirect jump wraps within the page instead of crossing into the next one. It's not a bug, it's a personality trait. Every emulator author learns this the hard way.
