Maybe it's my nasm version, but "\n" seems to be inserted literal for me and not translated into LF. Thus my program outputs "Sum is correct\". Doing "msg: db 'Sum is correct',0xA" works for me though.

Nasm uses backquotes to enable c-style string escapes. So `\n` should work, "\n" should render as \n (not new-line).

Eg:

    "Sum is correct",`\n` ;or
    `Sum is correct\n`
