Popular (cross)assemblers

I was wondering what the most popular (cross-)assemblers are for programming the C64. Turbo Assembler obviously, but what other assemblers are used?

I'm planning a complete rewrite of my old cross-assembler and I'd like to make it compatible with the popular assemblers out there..

So any comments on assemblers used by coders would be very helpful..

For crossassembling I use 64TASS (64TASS V1.44) which is compatible with Turbo Assembler.

I also hear good things about ACME (http://www.esw-heim.tu-clausthal.de/~marco/smorbrod/acme/acme.h..) and CC65 (http://www.cc65.org/).

CC65 seems to be a C-compiler for 65xx-systems, would be nice to code a demo with C :)

64TASS looks very good, it uses a lot of keywords and assembler-directives my assembler uses.
ACME looks pretty nice too.

Thanks!

Again I recommend CA65+LD65 (in the CC65) package. That's a nice way to handle assembler sources with proper linking and get rid of .org and .offs nightmare (IMO nightmare).

I used DreamAss (by the Dreams) for one or two projects. The only cross-assembler i've ever coop'ed with.

I use either DreamAss or CC65/LD65/CA65 depending on project. DreamAss for pure assembler projects and the other suite for things like tools.

If you are looking for interesting features, also have a glimpse at AS: http://www.the-dreams.de/as141r7n.zip

(although it's not really popular)

Word. I also used 6502 Turbo Assembler by Taboo once, but ca65 is totally kewler. I think 6502 turbo ass has been updated by someone and at the same renamed into something else... so that new version could be pretty good aswell. Just dont remember the new name.

A quick CSDb-search ("TASS") reveals another set of "lets-make-an-entry-for-every-update"-releases. :)

64TASS V1.44

One of the Breeze members had C sources to Turbo Assembler to download - if you must use turbo Assembler away from DOS/Windows it is a godsend.
