BitMagic The Complete Development Environment for the Commander X16.

Other Projects

Something else I’ve built that isn’t part of BitMagic itself, but came out of building it.

BitMagic MASM (ml64) Syntax Highlighting

The emulator core is hand-written x64 MASM assembly, and Visual Studio’s own tooling for .asm files is thin. I built this extension for Visual Studio 2022 and 2026, with the following features:

  • syntax colouring
  • Go To Definition, QuickInfo tooltips, reference highlighting and Peek Definition
  • Go To All symbol search
  • statement completion, including struct members after a .
  • structural diagnostics
  • comment/uncomment, outlining and brace matching

There’s no build integration and no parameter IntelliSense; it’s an editor extension, not a language toolchain.

Install it from the Visual Studio Marketplace, or find the source on GitHub.
