No bug. A trailing comma at the end of an array-initialiser list is A-Okay ANSI C.

You should still use asm arrays though, as they don’t need to be compiled.

-mRa isn’t a valid tile reduction option. Typo?

To display a non-transparent black, set one of the palette entries in your palette to 00b.

> would you guys say Wario World and V-Tetris are worth $35?

V-Tetris is $12 from Play-Asia.

The holes are approximately 45 mm deep. The bit above is only 40 mm long. To make it long enough you’d need to modify it.

Edit: beaten 😛

It appears the bit linked to above isn’t long enough for the two deep screws. You have been warned.

where can i buy the tool already made ?

This is the tool you need: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380046336230

Try omitting the leading underscore from the symbol name:

extern const BYTE binary_myfile_bin_start[];

BYTE abc = binary_myfile_bin_start[0];
//etc..

Alternatively, in Visual C++, go to File / Advanced Save Options, set Line endings to Unix (LF), and click OK. Then save your file(s).

Hi RP,

Here’s the patch with my changes to v0.8.1.

Yep, check out the new manual chapter: Grit in project builds.

It’s a command-line tool that converts 4 colour indexed images (bmp, gif, png, etc) into 8x8p 2bpp tiles and map data for the VB. The output is C/asm arrays.

Hi Alberto,

I think what’s sorely needed is a good graphics editor + converter/exporter more than anything else.

Visual C++ Express Edition and Programmer’s Notepad are already very capable IDEs for GCC, and also allow you to run external tools like Reality Boy.

Well, it might give some idea of the number of possible entrants. 🙂

It’d be interesting to know how many flashboy owners are using them for development, vs for playing roms, or as an addition to their VB collection. Maybe put up a poll?

Nice work, FG.

Try this.

Install MSYS. In Visual C++, in Tools/Options go to Projects and Solutions/VC++ Directories, and add msys/bin and cygwin/usr/local/bin.

Start a new Makefile Project. Enter name and location. Leave ‘Create directory for solution’ unchecked. Click OK.

In the next dialog enter:

Build command line:
make -f makefile.mak build 2>&1 | sed -e ‘s/\(.[a-zA-Z]\+\):\([0-9]\+\):/\1(\2):/’
