Question using Visual Studio

Post by schristis »

I have been practicing Assembly with CODEX, and am "trying" VISUAL STUDIO
Maybe I'm missing something, or something I don't understand....
I have it set up to create a .prg but gives an .asm...

I know it may only be a simple thing, but can any1 tell me where I might be going wrong ?

Best regards Shaun...

or how do I use a .asm file to load into the x16?... .asm not .prg ?

Are you using Visual Studio, or VS Code? They are very different programs. VS Code is actually a fork of Atom, an open source code editor, and Visual Studio is closed-source software, mostly built on the DotNet platform.

Second: I see Retro Assembler in the list there. Is that what you're using? Did you get it from https://enginedesigns.net/retroassembler/ or just via the extensions tab in VS Code?

Change your shell to Command or CMD.exe. PowerShell has always been more trouble than it’s worth.
