Commander X16

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?

Im using visual studio code, that I believe is correct....
and I did get retroassembler from https://enginedesigns.net/retroassembler/

Ive reinstalled everything an still no .prg created.....
I'm still trying to figure out what I'm missing here?

was not found but does exist...
what kind of statement is that?

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