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, 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.

Supported platforms

The following platforms are currently supported:

  • c64 Commodore 64. The compiler emits PRG files, not disk or tape images.

  • c64_crt8k Commodore 64, 8K ROM cartridge

  • c64_crt16k Commodore 64, 16K ROM cartridge

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • cpm CP/M on Intel 8080. The compiler emits COM files.

  • cpm_z80 CP/M on Z80

The primary and most tested platform is Commodore 64.

Currently, targets that assume that the program will be loaded from disk or tape are better tested. Cartridge targets may exhibit unexpected bugs.
