About:
Wla-Dx is a versatile cross-platform assembler supporting multiple architectures including Game Boy, Z80, 6502, and 65816. It provides robust macro support, conditional assembly, and linker capabilities for creating precise binary outputs. The tool is widely used for retro computing and game development projects due to its reliability and extensive architecture support.
Key Features:
  • Multi-architecture support (GB, Z80, 6502, 65816, etc.)
  • Advanced macro system and conditional assembly
  • Linker for combining multiple object files
  • Cross-platform (Unix, Windows, macOS)
Use Cases:
  • Developing software for retro gaming consoles like Game Boy
  • Cross-platform assembly development for embedded systems
  • Creating custom firmware for 8-bit and 16-bit microprocessors
Alternatives:
  • rgbds – Game Boy specific assembler, more focused than Wla-Dx's multi-arch approach
  • ca65 – Part of cc65 suite, excellent for 6502 but limited to that architecture
