  > If someone can build FASM 1 for 64-bit MacOS, it would be great. It's written in 32-bit x86 assembly, so that's unlikely.

  > FASM 1 If you wanted FASM g for arm(apple silicon) or something that might be much more achievable. FASM g was designed to be much more multiplatform. EDIT: looking it up it looks like someone has done some work for that: http://arm.flatassembler.net/ http://arm.flatassembler.net/

  It's worth noting that fasm is written in itself, and thus self-assembling.

  I switched to FASM when I started playing with MenuetOS [1] years ago. I like FASM, and the community was very helpful then. I started with 6502 assembly back in the 80s, and assembly for 8-bit micros in the 90s. I left assembly until just 4 years ago, and then I started playing with it again for boot sector games because of Oscar Toledo Gutierrez's book, 'Programming Boot Sector Games', for fun. Now there's, 'More Boot Sector Games'. I was a Commodore PET 2001, Vic-20, Amiga 1000, Amiga 500, and Apple PowerPC user back in the day (1978 to 1997), but it looks like DOS/Gates has won; here I am spending my free time trying to create games for DOS! NOTE: Legacy boot mode was taken out of Windows around 2019/2020, so you will need an older computer if you want to boot it off of a USB stick. Or you could just use a DOS emulator.
