ASM Tutorial

Just found this GREAT ASM tutorial. It's for GBA, but since the GBA and the NDS have the same CPU architecture (ARM), it's perfectly useful.
It explains what is ASM from the beginning and then explains how to code stuff in ASM.

Instead of copying it here, I'll just link.

Feel free to discuss it in this thread

Also have a read of these findings:

EDIT: Added another...
EDIT: I found a arm dissassembler a while ago and this is a link to it: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Other-Programming-Files/DISARM.shtml

Whoa, I remember reading that first post some time ago, it's just brilliant hacking. Thanks for finding it again

The second one is a rather intimidating big table, it shouldn't be needed for ASM hacking. The only use I see for it is when you want to assemble/disassemble opcodes by hand, and even when doing that, there are way easier ways to do this.

That disassembler? Humm.. I've never tried it, but IDA Pro is way better, but it's not free.
Also there's No$gba debugger. Maybe I'll upload it on the uploader.

So... If I want to learn ASM should I read up on all those linked documents?
