This has a MUCH faster turnaround. In the old days when developers wrote for Plus/4's and C64's we used crossdevelopment kits. These are PC's hooked into a real machine, we'd assemble on a PC and download to the remote machine. VERY quick, VERY nice. Nowadays, you can assemble on a PC, and run using an EMU.. almost as nice. Minus4dos has "real" source level debugging, and although its a big fiddly, it does allow a good local development environment. Using TASM for the PC you can assemble and run, and trace with ease..

That is where I got most of my ideas for my C16 stuff. Posted By Mike on 2001-06-16  Well.... Well, on the C64 I used cross asseblers - once I started to do it for a living... but when I was on the plus/4 I was still at School. I did the same as you, Used the built in assembler to do games. Lando has my only full game I did called "Freek Out".. .very sad Posted By Pat on 2001-06-15  Re : old days >> In the old days when developers wrote for Plus/4's and C64's we used crossdevelopment kits. I think I must be a bit sad because I wrote all my software on the Plus/4 built-in ssembler / disassembler. I tried using a C64 proper assembler but couldn't get on with it.
