Commander X16

Good fun, love it!

I needed to get the current directory, but found the command `$=C` difficult to use as it returns the data as displayed in the BASIC prompt. So to make this more 'machine readable' I've written the code below which will return a pointer to a string in $yyxx which is null terminated in the form that ...

BitMagic now handles these side effects correctly!

I made a quick app to test how the memory addresses which have side effects (eg DATA0 with the stepping) react to different opcodes on a machine vs a real 65c02. The main purpose was to test my own emulator and development suite -- BitMagic -- to see how far it is from real hardware. As such it migh...

I don't know enough to comment on the composing side, but it looks and sounds awesome!

Born from a random conversation on Discord about what could be achieved by line splitting on the x16. I gave it a quick go and so happy with the re...

That's not quite right; we are allowed to use the 65816 features. You're allowed to use anything you want to. 65c02 or 65816 instructions. Its your machine. It just might not work on other peoples machine. You just have to ask yourself, do you care if it doesn't work on some peoples machines, or in...

Just note, The Emulator doesn't have...

Try It Now button now fixed. User error ofc! :p
