Time to set up CBM prg Studio to work with the MEGA65 emulator XEMU (xmega65). After we configure everything properly, we have a slick IDE we can use to develop BASIC and Assembly language programs for the MEGA65. I'll provide a quick overview, show off a few IDE tools, and then show you with a single press of the F5 key we can build a MEGA65 program in CBM prg Studio and send it to the XEMU emulator to RUN.
