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

Quoting Groepaz
Damn this was 22 years ago. Fucking oldfarts we are =)


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 ;)

Kickass, VS Code, Paul Hocker's kickass plugin, Vice and C64 Debugger have been great for the beginner me so far. Although to be fair, I haven't really tried anything else, so I don't know what I am missing (if anything). Anyway, features like functions, macros, pre-defined constants etc. do make life easier for someone like me with 99% high level programming background.

Felt a bit like cheating to answer, though, given the very few hours I've actually put into coding. :D Maybe the survey should have asked a few more questions, like estimated hours of use per week per assembler, to give a fairer representation of which assemblers actually get used the most. Would be also cool to see a list of pros and cons per assembler, as judged by the "voters".

Thank you all for participating!

Didn't expect that this will lead to such an animated discussion. Great!
Besides I got to know a lot of assemblers I hadn't heard of before.

The question I originally had in mind was:
How many people are using DreamAss?

It has a few issues and I simply wanted to know if it's worth fixing them.
