Woot! Prototyped this morning a C64 debugger for VSCode for my upcoming C# C64 development toolkit that I will present at the .NET Conf 2025 in November, and I got a first registers view working! 🥳

I should hopefully have something more polished to present! 🤞 It will be pretty cool as it will allow to step over C# code (that assemble 6502 code), with the ability to visualize all CPU registers, VIC, SID registers, zero pages variables...etc. all of that with live editing! 🚀

Debugger from VSCode connected to a C# program + VICE Monitor debugging a live C64 demo.

Just finished porting sidreloc 1.0 by Linus Åkesson to C#! 🎉
It took a while, I'm using a different CPU emulator & rewrote much of it in idiomatic C#, but the results are great: it passes 78% of the latest HSVC SID collection (vs 63% for sidreloc 1.0).

The improvement likely comes from full support for all opcodes & a non-recursive heap-based solver. It can also auto-extract zero-page addresses, making it easy to integrate SID files directly into your code.

Code drops next month!

Competence builds confidence with .NET Principal Engineer Safia Abdalla

On this special episode of Hanselminutes, Scott reunites with .NET Principal Engineer Safia Abdalla, nearly 500 episodes and a decade after her first appearance on the show. They reflect on the arc of her career and the evolution of the developer landscape, discussing how building competence fuels confidence, how anxieties can compound in high-pressure environments, and what strategies help engineers sustain both technical excellence and personal growth over time.

It's Friday evening, let's share some code! 🥳

After reading Linus Akesson's great article on C64 SID relocation linusakesson.net/software/sidr I wanted to port it to my C# C64 libs and needed a 6502 CPU. Yet another sidetrack! 😅

So, I brought a 6502/6510 emulator to Asm6502 github.com/xoofx/Asm6502
with accurate cycles passing Thomas Harte's 2,560,000 tests! Ported from github.com/ericssonpaul/O2 and adding support for all illegal opcodes + test fixes. 🚀
