F8tool is an assembler AND disassembler to assemble your code into a binary file and to make binary files understandable by translating it into rudimentary assembler again.
The disassembly attempts to mask out data areas if using the -s argument.
Here are the instructions to run it:
"f8tool asm file.asm file.bin" will compile file.asm and give you file.bin.
"f8tool dis file.bin 2048 > file.asm" will disassemble file.bin giving you file.asm starting at address $0800.
"f8tool dis file.bin 2048 > file.asm -s" will disassemble file.bin and attempt to mask out the data areas.
You can also use hex notation 0x0800 instead of 2048 - should you want to.
