Now, Write code more Fast with our Extension, FASTians.....

This VS Code extension lets you write Assembly (.asm) files and automatically:

  • Assemble them using NASM
  • Run and debug them with AFD
  • Run them directly
  • All inside DOSBox

✨ Features

This extension provides two separate commands for running your code:

  • Debug with AFD (Default: F7): Automatically assembles your .asm file and launches it in the AFD (Advanced Fullscreen Debugger) inside DOSBox.
  • Run Directly (Default: Shift+F7): Skips the debugger. It assembles and runs your .com file directly inside DOSBox for a quick test.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Install DOSBox

  • This extension requires DOSBox to be installed.
  • Download DOSBox from https://www.dosbox.com/
  • Install it. The extension will automatically try to find it in common installation paths.

2. Keybindings

The extension comes with two default keys.

Command Default Key Action
Run ASM in DOSBox (with AFD Debugger) F7 Assembles and runs your code in the AFD debugger.
Run ASM in DOSBox (Directly) Shift+F7 Assembles and runs your code directly, skipping AFD.

How to change the keys:

  1. Go to File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts (or Ctrl+K Ctrl+S).
  2. Search for Run ASM in DOSBox.
  3. You will see both commands clearly listed. Right-click on the one you want to change and select "Change Keybinding".
