mov ax,word ptr [si+bx]

Thanks.

You remove some semantics.

Code: Select all

mov ax, word [si+bx]

nasm's point of view is that it must obviously be a pointer or you wouldn't use the [] 's, so the "ptr" is just filler and can be left out.

Translating to nasm is hard! Thanks for that help by the way, I really should've thought of that myself.

Here are some other problem lines:
Buffer DB 512, DUP, (0) <- Pretty sure it's the 'DUP'
mov [si+24h],"$"

not sure what the buffer is supposed to be, but if it was to be 512 empty characters, try:

Code: Select all

buffer  times 512 db 0

Should work, I guess. What about the other line? Any ideas?
