using a commodore64 emulator to learn 6502 programming?

Laserbeak43 · Post by **Laserbeak43** » Mon Dec 24, 2007 5:40 pm

hi, i'm assuming the 6502 programming book i have is geared towards the commodore64s and the KIM-1?

so what about using an emulator? i have one that i like, all i need i guess is to learn how to make virtial floppies to load my data and what the necessary programs are to use to do asm on it?

i like getting a realtime response when typing in the console and not having to deal with files sometimes. it's not someting i think i could do in the windows command prompt.

I used an Atari 8-bit computer emu for my first few 6502 programs....

Doesn't C64 BASIC allow you to input assembly?

i have absolutely no clue. i just thought it would be basic.
i've managed to find a copy of Profi Assembler Plus, but i don't know how to use it yet.

hmm this looks interesting, http://www.haddewig.de/nogames64/ i wonder if i can find docs for the assembler

I learned on an Apple IIGS, which has a built-in BASIC and a "mini-assembler".

does this PDF file teach about assembly? i'm under the impression that it only teaches about BASIC.[/url]

I thought the goal of Project 64 was to emulate a 64-bit game console.
