About:
ACME Cross-Assembler is a powerful 65xx-targeted macro assembler. It supports a wide range of processors including 6502, 65816, and 65C02. It features a robust macro system, conditional assembly, and includes a pseudo-programming language for complex build logic.
Key Features:
  • Multi-target support for 65xx family processors
  • Advanced macro system with conditional assembly
  • Pseudo-ops for complex build automation and calculations
  • Cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Developing software for retro computing platforms like Commodore 64 and Apple II
  • Embedded systems programming for 6502-based microcontrollers
  • Creating assembly language projects requiring complex macros and code generation
Alternatives:
  • ca65 – Part of the cc65 suite; more complex syntax but highly integrated with its C compiler
  • dasm – Another popular cross-assembler with broader platform support but different macro syntax
