ASM > Goldroad frontend

#20267 - oRBIT - Wed May 05, 2004 8:46 pm

Hi everyone!
I've written a simple frontend for the Goldroad assembler for Windows. It's very simple and comes with a built-in editor. A small feature is that it displays all your labels next to your code so you could easily navigate through huge sources by just clicking on the desired label. Anyway download the beta (use at your own risk :)) at http://w1.312.telia.com/~u31236359/gba/
Please notice that it requires the .NET framework.

Great job on the editor! It's simple and gets the job done. Though, is it possible for you to add the maximize option to the window?

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the nice words. Yeah, the feature you've mentioned are on my todo-list.

I've upgraded the utility quite a bit now. Now you even have the possibility to automatically run the compiled result in for example VisualBoy Advance. Saves you some valuable seconds and a few mouse clicks. :) And yes, the window is now scalable. :-)
And I changed the name from RockyRoad to ARMStrong. :-) Anyway, the beta download is available here:

Kinda cool :D

Now add tab support, color marksups, support for GNU AS, Goldroad <-> GNU AS converter, and hotkeys ;)

Tab support?

#20363 - Lord Graga - Sat May 08, 2004 11:01 pm

Hmm... like, when you write functions in C, and you use a {, then you jump a tab out to make the code look "good".

"Tab support" can refer either to indentation or to Opera/Mozilla-style tabbed MDI.

I've updated my Goldroad frontend ARMStrong to v0.981b. I consider it still in beta state but I've used it myself for awhile and it seems to work pretty good. :) I've added a "compile & run" option that runs the result in VBA, which really make your PC feels like a complete GBA-dev station. :-) Feel free to try it out and tell me your opinions.
