CBM prg Studio Version 4.6.0 is released. There are a lot of new features in this version. I’d really appreciate it if you report any bugs you find or have any suggestions/comments.

CBM prg Studio allows you to type a BASIC or Machine Code program in using a nice Windows environment and convert it to a ‘.prg’ file which you can run on an emulator, or even a real C64 / VIC20 or PET if you’re feeling brave and have the right kit.

CBM prg Studio is the result of merging C64PrgGen and VIC20PrgGen. Adding new features and fixing bugs in two apps which were 95% similar was a bit of a nightmare so merging them made sense.

System Requirements:

• CBM prg Studio will run on any recent PC hardware, The only requirement is .NET 4.6 (minimum) must be installed.

New features in v4.6.0:

• Option to check for new version on startup.
• Option to treat “PI” as a keyword or not.
• In the debugger, moving the mouse over the screen RAM window will show character and address info.
• In the debugger, there is an option to skip Kernal calls.
• In the screen designer, there is a layout selector for the ‘map’ tab.
• {insert} can be used for screen code 148.
• In the character editor, values can be pasted into the raw data text box.

Bugs Fixed:

• After creating a Kick assembler project, ‘Generate and launch’ would fail if the project properties had not been shown first.
• In the screen designer, selecting the reverse of character set 2 would throw an exception.
• In the screen designer, importing screen data into a multi-colour screen would render it in single colour.
• Adding a new item from the menu bar would throw an exception.
• ‘Generate and Launch’ for a project did not use the most recent source files.
• Reformatting assembly code would not work if a line started with a ‘@’ (with a lable).
• Reformatting BASIC code (removing zeros) not working with DATA statements.
• Reformatting BASIC code (removing spaces) not working with DATA statements.
• MOUNT keyword missing from mega65 projects.
• Open Output Folder for a kick assembler project would fail if no output folder was defined.
• Some UI tweaks (buttons not visible etc.)
