Needs to add raw binary output feature.

[RingingResonance]

Neat little program, but you need an option for raw binary output or at least raw hex code in txt format. I would prefer raw 8085 binary so I can just copy it over to a rom and be done with it. Thanks!

I second this request. I was trying to learn 8085 code to use on my Tandy Model 200, but it appears to be impossible to get the binary output I need from GNUSim8085.

I've found another assembler written in python written by ept221 and I've made a fork of it that makes it add buffer bytes when using ORG 0xXXXX. I've also made a fork of GNUASM85 written by chandywerks so that it can parse the output from pyasm as well as GNUsim and turn it into raw binary. I also fixed a bug in GNUASM85. My Forks: https://github.com/RingingResonance/8085-Assembler https://github.com/RingingResonance/GNUasm8085 Then it's just a matter of running a few commands: python3 assembler.py sourceFile.asm -H -o code.list ./gnuasm85 code.list -o output.bin It's messy, but it works pretty well.

Thanks for getting that working. It sounds like GNUSim8085 just needs to integrate the gnuasm85.c code to generate binary output. Right?

Is there any licensing reason that GNUSim8085 couldn't include gnuasm85 with it?

Honestly, I don't know why it was never added. I did look at the code for gnusim and I'm not well versed enough in C to do the task of adding it into that program, or at least I wasn't back when I last looked at that code years ago. I might be able to do it now, but that IDE, if you can call it that, is very limited compared to pyasm mentioned earlier so that's what I use now. I think the original author just lost interest in the project anyways. Shame as there aren't many free tools out there for Z80s, 8080s, and 8085s. Nobody uses these anymore except the TI series calcs, a few micro controllers, and enthusiasts looking to build or restore old computers and equipment. They are fun and simple little CPUs though. The author of pyasm is still pretty active, so that's what I recommend to use now along with a way to parse it into raw binary code in some way. It could all be done in python, but I'm even less well versed in python than I am in C so I opted to edit GNUasm85 to do that for me as I had already fixed one bug in it and therefore I kinda already knew how it worked. If you haven't gotten it to work already, python is worth the trouble of getting it to work as I'm sure you will need it in the future for other stuff.
