can someone explain why this does not compile

Code:
_256bmem dd 256 dup(?)


mov eax, dword [_256bmem+ch*4]

    



im trying to move data from _256bmem + (ch*4)

kind of like a jmp table


it says ERROR: reserved word used as symbol

Because you are using an inexistent addressing mode. You can't use CH*4 but you can use ECX*4 if you want adjusting ECX to proper value first or use

Code:
movzx eax, ch
mov   eax, [_256bmem+eax*4]    


Tomasz, really, that error message is very bad to see the real problem.

thanks
but that messes up the regs i set up for a ppc interpreter now


EDIT:
got code going

Code:


_ppcgekkointaddx:

mov ecx,opcode
mov edx,ecx     ; faster than from opcode again

shr ch,01H
and ch,01H       ;ch now has Oe
and cl,01H       ;cl now has Rc
xor ch,cl       ;[xor] or [or] doesnt matter here
shr ecx,08H      ;cl now has Oe and Rc
and ch,01FH      ;ch now has rA

shr edx,0BH
shr dh,02H
and dl,01FH      ;dl now has rB
and dh,01FH      ;dh now has rD

movzx ebp,ch
add eax, dword [_ppcggprptr+ebp*4]  ;gpr[rA] now in eax

movzx ebp,dl
add ebx, dword [_ppcggprptr+ebp*4]  ;gpr[rB] now in ebx

add eax,ebx                        ;added together

movzx ebp,dh
mov dword [_ppcggprptr+ebp*4],eax   ;moved into gpr[rD]

movzx ebp,cl
jmp dword [_ppcgOeRccheck+ebp*4]
ret
