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

I stumbled upon this Retro Assembler. Primary interest for me is the native M65 support, but I wonder if other people have experience with this?

I'm using ca65. I like the easy integration with C and I'm quite used to its macro language. The only thing that bothers me, is that you cannot use something like ".org" to jump around in memory and leave your marks (there is .org in ca65, but it does not what you expect from other assemblers)

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)


That was Cross64 by Uncle Tom. Never got into it and was using AS[1] for a long time. Yeah, some people in the late nineties were taking crossassembling to the same league as wiring graphics. Whatever.

These days, I don't use the one assembler. Mostly xa or 64tass, sometimes DreamAss or still AS.

YES! and some time later i discovered the tasm clone from taboo and wrote SmartAss Editor V1.1 and Send2C64 V1.0 to use it. Damn this was 22 years ago. Fucking oldfarts we are =)

Heh, I was one of those. Until around 2000 I was very much in the "crossassembling is cheating" camp.

Different story now of course.

Great times, yes. Custom-made receive software on EEPROM, first using SwiftLink, then parallel port to userport cable. That I used quite a while. Even used this coding for the Flash8 turbo card which was ill-fated because it was too unstable. Ah, fond memories!

"parallel port to userport cable"

Oh yes, done that too... And under Windows it was hell.

Latest incarnation before switching to 1541U2+ was using an Arduino to userport and USB. The irony of using a 16MHz CPU to communicate with a C64 ;)
