I've been looking around on the internet for NES (6502) assemblers. I found a few, but I didn't know what would be the best (and windows based, not DOS). I'm going to try a lot of them out tonight whenever I have my computer available. But I'll be coming back in later tonight to check the boards before I can get near my computer. Also, I found Tetanes which seems like it might be handy as well. I'm not entirely sure how it works, but it seems like it seperates the PRG-ROM from the rest of the ROM. Don't know how that will help yet though. |

I use cc65. It's windows based, but uses a console. I don't think there are any that use an actual windows GUI to be honest. | |||

I found one once that worked like a charm, but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was... I know it had "gold" in the name, so that may help you find it. But that should be unnecessary. There's a top-notch NES assember, which compiles things down to NES ROMs complete with iNES header, simply called NESASM which is for DOS, but don't let that get you down. It compiles .asm files, which you can easily create in Notepad. So just set up a batch file with "NESASM File.asm" and save as .bat and just double-click that when you want to compile. If this is all too cryptic, I can make a make-shift Notepad wannabe in VB for you that has a button which will run the necessary shell command for NESASM and give you a Windows-based assembler frontend, which will do what you want it to anyways. |

I downloaded both the files for cc65 (didn't even see that one at the sites I visited), and I grabbed nesasm from NESworld or something like that, though they did have a document down. I'll run the files off my jump drive (or whatever you like to call those) so it doesn't take so long to navigate to it using the Command Prompt. | |||

Like I said earlier: Batch files (.bat) can be used to run commands from the Windows GUI. Just stick in the desired command in a text document and save it as .bat, and you can double-click it right there from Windows and it'll run the command for you. So if you stick in the compile command, you can just drop it and the compiler program in the same directory as your .asm file and resources. Double-click the .bat file and you've got yourself a ROM. |

I have always just used NESASM, and never had a problem with it. It's a nice program. | |||
