Hi guy's,
Anyone out there using the Embest IDE for coding? (http://www.embedinfo.com/English/Product/idemain.asp).
Let me know what you think...

$960! That is a lot of money. But I guess for a professional, it could be a great investment. Anyways, does it work with VBA for debugging? And can you write CPP programs? It only mentioned C. I might check it out if it can do what I need it to do.

Looks not bad, a bit like Visual Studio. But Eclipse is the best IDE for GBA developing anyway :)

You don't need a plugin for GBA development; just install the Eclipse CDT (the C dev toolkit) and tell it to use your ARM version of gcc/binutils.

Eclipse is a universal toolplatform which means that you can develop nearly anything with it as long as there is a plugin. The Eclipse Platform just offers a general interface for plugins.
CDT is a C/C++ Plugin for Eclipse and it works pretty well in the new version. The C/C++ Plugin use mainly Makefiles, so you can develop with any kind of compiler.
There is also a way with CDT to debug within the Eclipse workbench by using VBA with GDB. There are already some topics about the debugging stuff in here.
If you wanna find out more about Eclipse just visit http://www.eclipse.org
If you decide to use Eclipse i suggest using the newses Milstone of the 3rd Version of Eclipse: Eclipse M8. The code completion works pretty well in this version even if there are still some problems.
