Does anyone have a SNES development IDE here?

I wanted one so much! i just couldn't find one! Does anyone
know what to do?

Herr... I doubt that any have ever be made.
If you want to programm your SNES, you'll have to go with raw assembly. Use WLA-DX it is good.

BTW, an IDE would be more appropried to SNES than NES, because it is faster and have much more RAM, so there is less code-optimisation involved.

Doesn't cc65 support the 65C816 CPU used in the Super NES?

IDE just means "integrated development environment", which consists of a smart text editor, a few platform-specific asset editors (e.g. icon or dialog resource editor on Windows target or chr or nam editor on NES target), possibly a few code-generating wizards, and debugging tools. For instance, a fellow can use the same Microsoft Visual Studio to develop C programs and x86 assembly language programs.

not that I know of.. but you could try UltraEdit. I have been thinking of writing one myself for snes (and maybe nes and some other consoles). but that wont probably happend for the next month ;)

got lots of other stuff to do first. :?

The assembler does, but I think the compiler is only 6502/65C02 (I could be totally wrong though). But of course 6502 code works just fine on the 65C816.

BTW if anyone wants a free text editor for programming, here's what I use:

I made a 6502 highlighter for it, but it looks like now there's one on the site there (I haven't tried that one).

I think stuck with 8-bit registers and 6502 only opcode would suck on the SNES. It would waste the hardware ressources.

Hey-

If you are looking to develop for the SNES, there are a lot of good tutorials and tools here to get you going:
