Linux C64 Tools
Is there a current list of tools available for crossdev or working with disk images on Linux? |

Funny you should ask that question, I'm considering putting linux on my old Sony Vaio laptop, and use that as a c64 dev machine. |

I'm using Dreamass as an assembler, Geany as texteditor and Vice as emulator. And Exomizer is quite handy, too. For paintings you could use GIMP (with Taos C64 plugins) or mtPaint which is quite handy. |

I've used Cadaver's tool collection (available at http://covertbitops.c64.org/) with some success. And of course one must never forget the swiss army knife of development; Python. |

Concerning graphics, none of the graphical tools available is even close to matching the combination of Paintshop Pro and Timanthes that I prefer to use. MTPaint is really nice for pixeling purposes (grid, pixel zoom, palettehandling), although it lacks good handling of the selectiontool (save, load, shrink, expand, move, etc). GIMP is still a somewhat bloated Photoshop-wannabe with flaws, just about barely usable for pixeling purposes. Best option would probably be to get a copy of PSP 3 and run it through WINE.
In all other instances (eg. music and coding) Linux works just like a charm. Goattracker 2 is available, aswell as many suitable editors and assemblers. I still lack diskhandlers like 64Copy, though. |

if you dared to use wine anyway you can stick to nice windows for working with diskimages:
TotalCommander(with dircbm) and DirMaster V2.0 run quite nice here with ubuntu |

Again this thread highlights the fact that "other platform tool" is not a very informative label in the database. |
