Target platforms
Currently, Millfork supports creating disk- or tape-based programs for Commodore, Apple, BBC and Atari 8-bit computers, NEC PC-88, ZX Spectrum 48k, Amstrad CPC, CP/M, and cartridge-based programs for Commodore 64, VIC-20, MSX, Famicom/NES and Atari 2600, but it may be expanded to support other 6502-based and Z80-based platforms in the future.
To add a custom platform yourself, see the custom platform adding guide.
If you are compiling for a cartridge-based target, you need to take special precautions; see the ROM vs RAM guide
Supported platforms
The following platforms are currently supported:
-
c64
– Commodore 64. The compiler emits PRG files, not disk or tape images. If you want to create a program consisting of multiple PRG files, see the Commodore programming guide for more info. -
c64_crt8k
– Commodore 64, 8K ROM cartridge -
c64_crt16k
– Commodore 64, 16K ROM cartridge -
c64_ef_small
– Commodore 64, EasyFlash cartridge, 72K of program code. See the EasyFlash programming guide for more info. -
c64_scpu
– Commodore 64 with SuperCPU in emulation mode -
c64_scpu16
– Commodore 64 with SuperCPU in native, 16-bit mode (very buggy) -
lunix
– Commodore 64 or 128 running LUnix/LNG 0.21 Certain language features work differently on this target. Read the LUnix programming guide for more info. -
c64jp
– Japanese version of Commodore 64 (different memory layout and character set) -
c16
– Commodore 16 -
plus4
– Commodore Plus/4 -
vic20
– Commodore VIC-20 without memory expansion -
vic20_3k
– Commodore VIC-20 with 3K memory expansion -
vic20_8k
– Commodore VIC-20 with 8K or 16K memory expansion -
vic20_a000
– Commodore VIC-20, 8K ROM cartridge at $A000 -
c128
– Commodore 128 in its native mode -
pet
– Commodore PET -
nes_small
– a tiny 32K PRGROM + 8K CHRROM Famicom/NES program, using iNES mapper 0 (NROM). The compiler emits NES files. -
nes_mcc4
– a 128K PRGROM + 128K CHRROM + extra 8KRAM Famicom/NES program, using iNES mapper 10 (MMC4)
For more complex programs, you need to create your own "platform" definition.
Read the NES programming guide for more info. -
atari_lynx
– Atari Lynx -
vcs
– Atari VCS (also known as Atari 2600), 4K cartridge (experimental) -
a8
– Atari 8-bit computers. The compiler emits XEX files, not disk or tape images. -
bbcmicro
– BBC Micro model B (32k RAM). The compiler only emits raw binaries, not disk images. Read the BBC Micro programming guide for more info. -
apple2
– Apple II+/IIe/Enhanced IIe. The compiler only emits raw binaries, not disk images. Read the Apple 2 programming guide for more info. -
pc88
– NEC PC-88. The compiler emits bootable disk images. -
cpc464
– Amstrad CPC 464. The compiler only emits raw binaries, not disk images. Read the Amstrad CPC programming guide for more info. -
zxspectrum
– Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k. The compiler emits tape images. -
zxspectrum_8080
– Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k, using only Intel 8080 instructions -
msx_crt
– MSX 16kB cartridge, using only 16kB RAM -
gb_small
– a tiny 32K Game Boy program. (experimental) The compiler emits GB files. Read the Game Boy programming guide for more info. -
cpm
– CP/M on Intel 8080. The compiler emits COM files. -
cpm_z80
– CP/M on Z80 -
dos_com
– a COM file for DOS on IBM PC. (very experimental) -
x16_experimental
– Commander X16; very experimental, as both the target configuration and the device itself are in their experimental phases.
The primary and most tested platform is Commodore 64.
