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 |

Eh, as I didn't have a C64 myself, I had to call a friend on the phone and tell him which machine code to rub in. |

TMPx is missing from the list. I've been using it since I had a lot of code in Turbo Assembler and Style Turbo Macro Pro is awesome ;) |

@walt, that truly is unfuckingbelievable
well the people who were graftgold used REM statements on another machine (zx81 IRC) and converted that to asm.
so when Walt says that, it's not so strange to me. just people are inventive or max out what they have to work with.
game makers were using cross asm, esp. on zx spectrum due to the bad kebyboard, lack of disk drive. c64 games also.
remember most of tim follins music work was made on a tatung einstein , for example THEN ported to c64. |

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) |

Quoting GroepazIn 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. |
