XIDE - An Online x86 Assembly IDE

Welcome to XIDE, an online x86 Assembly Integrated Development Environment (IDE)! This tool allows students and developers to code, assemble, debug, and emulate x86 assembly language programs directly in their browsers without the need to install separate tools.

Features

• Netwide Assembler (NASM) for assembling x86 code.
• Advanced Fullscreen Debugger (AFD) for debugging assembled programs.
• em-dosbox to emulate the assembled programs in a browser environment.

Usage

1. Open a .asm file or start writing code directly in the editor.
2. Click Assemble to assemble your code into an executable.
3. Click Execute to assemble and run your program in the DOSBox Emulator.
4. Click Debug to assemble and load the program into AFD for debugging.
5. Use Restart to restart the emulator if needed, or to stop an infinite loop in your program.

Upcoming Features

• Support for handling multiple .asm files.
• Persistence of files across browser sessions.
• More customization options for debugging and emulation.

Installation

You don’t need to install anything! Just head to https://xide.nullprime.com/ to use XIDE directly from your browser.
