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.
