This is the republication of a well-known microprocessor programming guide, first published in 1986 at the launch of the Western Design Center’s revolutionary new 65816 and 65802 processors.

With a keen understanding of the learning process, software designers David Eyes and Ron Lichty produced a comprehensive guide to the 65x family of microprocessors that continues to be used worldwide today.

Now, WDC is once again making available this classic reference book for programming the 65x family of microprocessors.

Designed for programmers at every experience level, the book opens with a primer on basic assembly language programming concepts for beginners. After introducing the architecture of each generation of microprocessor, a detailed tutorial offers a step-by-step survey of all 256 instructions and all twenty-five addressing modes. Then, from selected code examples to a debugging tool and checklist, the section on applications provides helpful, down-to-earth examples and how-to instructions.

The reference section delivers information and details on how the various instructions and addressing modes work, along with their syntax and opcodes. The appendix, meanwhile, holds specialized information that includes microprocessor data sheets and compatible I/O parts for easy access while programming.

Too confusing to read

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book should have focused on one processor only. Switching from one processor to the next always left me wondering whether they were still talking about one processor or all or two. Who knows. This book will not teach you how to code the 6502 very well. May be useful for those interested in the architecture.

W65C816S programming manual and for the 40pin W65C802 with a little for the wd65c02.
Written in 1986 but there is nothing better. WDC used to give this out for free when you bought their products.

A Thoroughly Complete Manual about 65xxx Architecture and its Programming!

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is quite the hefty tome, but the included software listings alone are worth the price of admission. The book is extremely thorough in fully exploring the 816 architecture, instruction set, processor logic, addressing modes, etc. It's also a complete primer for 65-2 and 65C02 programming as well, if that's what you're attempting to do. It meets the needs of a design and/or software engineer very nicely indeed.

Must-have book for 65x programming

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2005

I wore this book out thoroughly when I programmed for my Apple IIgs and Apple IIc. It has all of the codes for the entire series (including 6502, 65802, 65816) and explains which is covered by which.

It describes each op-code in detail, and in order. It makes an excellent reference, and should be on every 65x programmer's shelf. It will get a lot of use...

Good in-depth coverage of the 65C816

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 21, 2018

The typeface of the book appears to be a rough laser print, but the contents of the book are very useful for working with the extended 16 bit instructions of the 65C816.

A must have for 6502 family developers

Reviewed in Australia on November 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

The venerable Rodney Zaks book "Programming the 6502", my copy dates from 1978, only deals with the original NMOS version of the processor. "Programming the 65816" takes the same framework as the original and expands it to the entire modern family of 8 and 16-bit processors which are being produced by Western Design Center Inc and are still available for renovating old machines or creating new, retro designs. The book touches on hardware but is mainly focussed on the software interface to the processors and their inherent differences. At 607 pages, this is a comprehensive book and a must for anyone writing assembly code for a 65xx. I knocked a review point off because the reproduction of the text on the page is not the highest quality - as if it were scanned at some point. It's still a good bedtime read though. If you need this and like to work with a book open beside you - buy it.

Développeur de profession et fan de la Super Nintendo depuis sa sortie dans les années 90, j'apprends à programmer sur cette console et ce livre est génial pour ça.
Très didactique, très dense, beaucoup d'exemples...

Cependant c'est la réédition d'un livre des années 80~90, alors oui c'est un peu daté, la typo n'est pas top (on dirait une photocopie, de bonne qualité mais une photocopie quand même) et le style graphique de la mise en page est celui de l'époque, les tableaux ne sont pas ce qu'il y a de plus lisibles, mais c'était comme ça qu'étaient écrits les livres techniques avant. Ils étaient beaucoup moins accessible qu'aujourd'hui mais le contenu reste très bien et c'est probablement le meilleur livre jamais écrit sur ce processeur.

Et puis, quand on veut programmer sur un processeur ancien, tournant sur une console ancienne, en utilisant d'anciennes techniques de programmation, c'est finalement assez normal d'avoir un bouquin à l'ancienne aussi non ? Comme ça tout est raccord et tout est rétro :)

Grâce à ce livre je me replonge avec plaisir dans l'assembleur tel que je l'ai appris à l'école d'Ingé et je redécouvre la Super Nintendo et son processeur dans les même conditions (presque) que les programmeur de l'époque. J'étais fan de retrogaming, me voila fan de rétro-programmation !

simply useless content too messy, too heavy, too thick

Reviewed in France on October 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

I guess this book is sold like potatoes (by the weight)
- pages are thick
- the book is too big (hard to handle)
- the content is messy
- in fact it has no interest at all..

I guess the pages of codes are simply there to add more weight
they should have written a book similar to the hardware/software manual from mos technology
or even better something in a small format like the rockwell edition of the 6502 hardware/software manual
