Your favourite cross assembler

Hi all,

I was wondering which cross assembler you use for C64 coding and started a
survey on this (see link below). I'm aware that there have been threads about
this in the past. Nevertheless I'd like to know what you use these days. New
assemblers appear (e.g. BadAss) and people might switch from one assembler to
the other.

So, here's the link to the survey:

https://fragab.de/35Ff8TS

I'm curious about your votes!

If your favourite assembler is not listed, please drop a note in this thread.
I will then add it to the list of options.

cheers,
Henne

There is 'incbin' functionality. See here: http://theweb.dk/KickAssembler/webhelp/content/ch03s09.html
// import the bytes from the file 'music.bin', but skip the first 100 bytes
.import binary "Music.bin", 100

// Imports $200 bytes starting from position $402 (the two extra bytes is because its a c64 file)  
.import c64 "charset.c64", $400, $200


(I know, Communicating out new stuff is not always clear)

Ah, ".import binary" is .incbin in all but verbatim name, then. So back to blaming lazy people. =)

Still weird, the .import syntax. Why not simply use .import "file" [,offset [,count]] and get rid of the 'import type'? Seems confusing to me.

I use x65 for everything but maybe you should just have an option for "My own cross assembler" so you don't get a lot of single vote entries?

it's like everything .. it's objective and subjective. I have the same issue with vst music stuff, where there are 2+ versions of the same thing.

I use acme the odd time , as I don't fancy re-learning things for using a different 6502/6510 machines.

I'm annoyed you all don't use a stock machine and turbo assembler any more ;-)

find what suits you best, is the simple answer.. and complexity etc.

Turbo assembler? Nah, my first was pen and paper before entering decimal numbers into BASIC data statements. But that lasted less than six months and it's not something I'm remotely nostalgic about.

lol, thats me. Tho back in those days it needed like 6 months after we found Turbo Assembler, that I could get my ass and start coding in it, because I was used to Profi Ass :D

In 1996 Graham used to mock me because i used a crossassembler (the turbo vision based one from some the dreams guy... dont remember how it was called) and not native turbo assembler like he did. Apparently if you didnt write everything from scratch again and again you were lame, and the peak of lame was reusing code and have include files and libraries.

good times with them oldfarts :=)
