New Visual Studio assembler / debugger

Post by Turtle_Quality »

Seen on Facebook, I haven't tried it out yet

"Here's my new extension for Visual Studio 2022: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items...
From the linked page: An extension for Visual Studio 2022 that provides a development environment for Z80 Assembler, currently targeting a simulator for the ZX Spectrum 48K computer. The extension includes a Project System (what you see in the Solution Explorer window), a Debug Engine (what Visual Studio uses when you start debugging), and a simulator for the Z80 processor and the peripherals of the ZX Spectrum 48K computer.
I'm a long time user of Visual Studio Pro. I am also tinkering in Z80 ASM every now and then, and I was really missing all the goodies one can find in a full-fledged IDE. (VS Code, with its many extensions for Z80 development, doesn't come close in my opinion.) I eventually wrote my own VS extension; it was orders of magnitude more work than I anticipated.
The source code is here: https://github.com/adigostin/felix. Drop me a message if you feel like contributing. The simulator, especially, is far from perfect. The language is C++ and I would like it to stay that way."

I created a dev environment myself a while back which is IDE agnostic.

I use VS Code myself, although I (obviously) used Visual Studio back when I was .NET developer.
