Thanks so much for making this video! I'm new to assembly, and I've spent the past two weeks trying to set up a decent programming environment on my Mac that will automatically open my assembly code in Vice. I couldn't do it, and it was immensely frustrating. However, with the assistance of your video, I got myself up and running within about half an hour. Cheers. :)
Beautiful video. The only thing is, Vice doesn't seem to want to launch even when I've provided the full path to the executable. This is quite frustrating and I see that many others are having the same issue. You think you could help a brotha out here?
Almost there but I cannot get Vice to launch from vscode; I've tried the GTK and SDL versions but same problem with both; they wont't start. It could be a problem with my mac as I can only get them to run by double-clicking them in Finder but not from terminal. When I try to run them from the terminal all I get is "command not found x64sc" ( I get the same thing with all the other emulators in the bin folder). I've tried "chmod 777 x64sc" but that hasn't helped either. I'm not usre if it's a more general mac setup or my vscode setup that's the problem here. Any help would be gratefully received from anyone. Thanks!
Hmm I'm not sure what to suggest if you cant launch them from the terminal. Try an older version of vice, like the old vice Darwin i386 buld, in the older distributions page of zimmers.net
@@JimJimPlays Hi Jim, Thanks for replying; I really wasn't expecting it after nearly 3 years of your video being posted :-) I'll give that version a go and see what happens. Cheers, your help is greatly appreciated!
Hi, I've set this up as per the video, and can compile a .prg program. The C64 emulator opens, but it doesn't automatically load the .prg file (I have to select it from the file-> Smart attach disk/tape option - which then loads, and an sys runs the code fine). Anyone any idea how to make the .prg file load when the emulator opens?
I have the same issue, with KickAss (C64) / Captain JiNX. Actually when using the C64 debugger, the .prg is correctly loaded. But with Vice it isn't. I suspect vice needs the full path to the .prg. When I type the command manually, with the full path it works : This, generated by VSCode, does not work: /Applications/vice-sdl2-3.4-r37694/x64sc.app/Contents/MacOS/x64sc -logfile test.prg-vice.log test.prg - the .prg is not loaded by vice This command works : /Applications/vice-sdl2-3.4-r37694/x64sc.app/Contents/MacOS/x64sc -logfile test.prg-vice.log /Users/niko/Visual\ Studio\ Projects/c64/bin/test.prg - the .prg is loaded I tried to modify the extension javascript to put the full path, but I'm struggling
For those that are reading this, it seams that there is a bug in the KickAss(C64) extension. I modified run.js to provide the full path to the .prg file to Vice and it works now.
Sorry, once again I have answered my own question. In the Vice path in VSCode Settings for KickAss, the x64 file must be labeled x64.app followed by Contents/.... ie. /Applications/Vice/x64.app/Contents/MacOS/x64
Me again. I have Mac OS Catalina and cannot get the latest VSCode and latest KickAss to auto launch Vice 3.5. Are there some permissions somewhere I have to enable?
I unable to see there too blurry on your youtube because of 720p. Need start over again to fix to be 4K video. I am full deaf and I don't understand your speak voice.

Thank you for the informative video. Getting my Ubuntu dev box up and running thanks to you.

Setting this up is a totally nightmare
Thanks for this video, had to redo my setup, but forgot what I did.
Thank you for sharing this!
Hey Jim,
a very good instruction how to install and use KickAssembler on a MacBook. Thanks for that short tutorial!
Greetings from Germany, Andira
Finally got it running. Thanks a lot.
Good one. Now I can code 6502 on my Mac too. Greetings from Turkey.

Vice don't open for me after "Build and Run" :/ What can be the Problem?
check my updated setup guide - ruclips.net/video/EskWrJnV4D8/видео.html
I did setup up my VSCode but it does not start the emulator. It does compile to prg thou.
Make sure you provide the complete path to the x64 binary in the VSCode KickAss settings

I have Vice installed and the bin file put into vscode and have the exact same plugin installed, but when I try to run my code it does not open vice
You got java installed with the compiler ?
@@JimJimPlays Yes
the one reccomended from the kick assembler site
where are the files located on linux?

Make sure you're using the "kick ass" vscode plugin and not the "kick assembler" plugin as there are some differences
@@JimJimPlays Thanks, that's the one I'm using (by Captain Jinx). Also the syntax highlighting isn't working in VSCode either! Strange.
