Amiga and Atari ST programming, right in your web browser! (See What’s New)


Amiga and ST fans have been asking when I would be adding 16-bit support to the online retro IDE since the beginning, so I am relieved to be able to announce they are in place and ready to use, finally!

Not only are they supported, but you get AMOS/STOS BASIC, VBCC for C programming, and also TRSE, all right in your web browser with nothing to download, install, or configure πŸ₯³

8-bit systems were not neglected either, Commodore 128, Plus/4, Nintendo Gameboy, MSX2, Amstrad CPC 464, Atari 800 XL, all got added for the first time!

Check out the announcements and demo code in the links below, and as always let me know your thoughts in the community ...

It's a fascinating world of hardware recreated in hardware via software. Unlike pure software emulation, there is inevitably going to be an upper limit to what can be crammed into the resources,...

Hand picked retro gaming and retro computing stories from the week

In this issue: Amiga, C64, PC, Atari 8-bit, Atari 2600, Macintosh, Mega Drive, Amstrad PC1512, Arcade, Atari Lynx One of the challenges in this hobby is keeping up with the news. Secondary, but also big is what one person thinks of as 'news' is another person's junk or noise. How to keep up with the good stuff without drowning in the rest of it? So I thought, as a programmer, and a person with opinions, I would try and come up with my take on a solution. As was tradition back in the day, I...
