added web links, more cross assemblers, snapshot method
Once you have your binary file you have two choices depending on if the game will be for cassette or disc.
=== Cassette:===
- * Use 2CDT to add the files to a Cassette Image File (CDT)- * Then you can run the program on the emulator the same way as you would run it on a real CPC
=== Disc:===
- * Use CPCFS or CPCXFS to put the binary files into a Disk Image file (DSK)- * Then you can run the program on the emulator the same way as you would run it on a real CPC
=== Snapshot ===
Cross Assemblers:The fastest way of testing your code on an emulator is by creating a snapshot. Use CPCSnapshot to insert your assembled code into a snapshot file. Then just load the snapshot file into the emulator. Windows users may also try WinAPE's integrated assembler which assembles the code directly into the emulated CPC's memory.
 === Cross Assemblers === *[[Pasmo]]*ZMac*Kio's Z80 assembler*[[WinApe]]'s built in assembler
== Testing on a real CPC ==
=== For cassette ===
- Use Tape2WAV to convert the Cassette Image file (CDT) into a WAV file.
- Wait for the program to load...
=== For disc ===
If your CPC has a 3.5" disc drive then the easiest method is to transfer the DSK to a 3.5" disc using the PC.
- Put the disc into your CPC's 3.5" disc drive and type
- |B: RUN "<gamename>
