Okay I'll try that out, cheers mate

These are command line programs, not interactive environments.
Okay got that managed to get ASM6 and NESASM open in the command prompt by changing the path directory in the environment variables but not ca65. I dont know what Im doing wrong but apparently it is a bit of a nightmare to set up (so ...

okay so Ive decided Im going to stick with ca65 for now, but when I open the cmd prompt and type in ca65 or cc65 it literally just says no input files. Im assuming that means its found it but somethings missing? lost here lol

Is this nes specific? ive managed to get a couple of assemblers open in the command prompt etc. but how do I know if its nes specific or setup properly?

It would certainly be better to use a tool which the NES community use, if your objective is to write NES code.
cool, ill do that thanks man

I've never used Cross-32 so I can't comment on how good it is.
iv'e downloaded the demo for it but I'm going to try and find a good free assembler and in ...

I've never done anything like that before would it be better to find an assembler specifically intended for NES programming or learn to make my own?

Haha yeah will do thanks man

What might be happening here is that you're launching a command-line program as if it were a GUI program. If instead you start a windows command line and invoke the program from that (by typing) it might work out better.
Thats exactly what it was lol, thanks.


Are you writing for an emulator or ...

In your opinion do you think its worth getting cross 32? what does it do differently from the free assemblers? if so I probably will get it in a month or so but I would like to try one of the other two you mentioned but again they wont open, the command prompt box thing flashes for a second then ...

Hi, Brand new here lol. I know this maybe a stupid and I apologise if it is buy anyways, what program do people use for assembly language? i'm wanting to make a nes game and its basically a toss up between ca65 and asm6 from what ive read but cant even get either of them open. on windows 8 btw, can ...
