Keep vintage computers alive by designing with modern tools. If we just had this kind of development tool back in the 80s, the computer world might be different today? While most IDEs are aimed mostly at developing software for modern PCs and make it hard to set up for developing games and apps for vintage computers and consoles, Phoenix is preconfigured for many vintage systems and has many cross assemblers and file processors built in for vintage game authors.
Easy on the eyes, less mouse movement, and friendly. The docking panes can become floating windows that you can move to another monitor if you like. Just drag them where you want them, redock them to another location, and configure your layout how you like. One of the screen shots shows the OS-9 Level II RMA assembler crunching out an object file in a fraction of a second. The readout window was moved to the right side of the screen and all the other panels have been neatly organized on the left sidebar, all using simple drag and drop. You decide how you want the IDE to look. For discussions about the Phoenix IDE, check out CoCo3.com - The Tandy Color Computer SuperSite or The CoCo Forums. The Phoenix IDE is a Multi-Target Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000, ME, 98, and 95, and LINUX via the Wine system. Target
CPUs: 8048, 8041A, 8022, 8021, 6502, R65C02, R65C00/21,
6805, M146805, HC05C4, Z80, HD64180, 6800, 6801, 6803,
68HC11, 8051, 8080, TMS32010, TMS320C25, TMS320C26 , TMS7000, 6809,
6309, and more, utilizing the TASM cross assembler, the AS-series cross
assemblers, CCASM, OS-9 ASM, and more. Also, add your own cross assembler
or compilers.
Summary of Features
"What You See Is What You Get"
Vintage assembly programming is easier than ever using Rainbow, an easy-to-use IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for Windows XP, 98, ME, 2000, and 95. This system assumes most of the work and lets you control most features using simple options from the side panels. Your projects may consist of many separate source components that are automatically compiled using any of the available assemblers - in a smooth and streamlined build process. You
have full control over how your source code is assembled and what target
image it ends up on, whether it's 1k-256k ROMs or umlimited number
of floppy disk images per project. You can also build directly
to PC files and manually export your software. With the Rainbow Integrated Development Environment you can design software for all kinds of 8-bit vintage computers and game consoles from Windows XP, 98, ME, 2000, or 95.The user-friendly interface takes you from the editor to running in seconds by calling on your favorite M.E.S.S. emulator system in a pop-up window. You can Edit assembly source code, raw binary files, and text files or ASCII BASIC programs, and have many files open at once for each project. Send the output over to virtual floppy disks ready to emulate or write to real floppies later, or to ROM images that are automatically mounted and run if you like. |
