Niiiiice! And yeah, I don’t think it was either. I got the Block Buster case myself and the instructions inside made it seem like the were trying to be a sort of digested replacement.

@ Raverrevolution
Holy crap! $25 brand new… that’s like when I bought EarthBound (awesome game btw) for the SNES for only seven dollars brand new at Bust Buy… I feel the same and wish I bought them all!

@ gunpeiyokoifan
Nice set you got! And from what I’ve seen so far (which isn’t exactly a long time but we’ll just pretend it is for the effect) you are such the only chicka, so you definitely have that going. 😛

@ HonkeyKong
Wow, $30? What a steal! Is it in good shape?

@ T-SqProductions
Did that all come together as a set when you got it?!

@ VBSAM
Haha 6? Have you done messed around with making a link cable yet? And nice netting it at $13! And here I thought me getting mine at $90 pretty mint was rockin. Haha!

And awesomeness to everyone else too! Seems like we got a lot of new owners according to the poll at the moment… GLaD I’m not the only one first getting to experience this so late. 😛

^ I second that! Though, I’m not much of a sporty type of guy so definitely Mario Clash between the two.

If it makes you feel any better, I recently just added a new top time! 😛

But man though, what an awesome game! It’s got great levels, secrets all over the place, makes great use of the 3D effects (and not crazily over doing it), catchy tunes, and has elements unique to almost all the levels. I love it!

Also, I too just begun the hard mode… and I can’t beat the first boss! Seems Wario just can’t run faster than the boss can throw the spiked ball on his head. Is there something I’m just overlooking? :\

Annnndd… here is mine! 🙂

Just in case the PM didn’t make it.. go ahead and donate it. 🙂

Oh whoops. I for some reason kept misreading 4.x to 1.4… how I’ll never know especially after typing it already. Meh. Oh well, I’m just glad I’m up and running now.

Haha and that’s so true… trying to follow goto’s through a program is never a pretty (or sane) thing. I was more on the joking side, but then started to actually think about it a little… *shiver*

Anyhow, I should be good for now. Thanks everyone for the help! I’m going to get coding now! 😀

I know! I’m pretty excited myself! 😀 Thanks for the help with that too!

Oh and haha, guess I was a bit vague there… I meant the major differences between the 06-20-05 version that I got working, and the newer 2.95 version.

06-20-05 is the 4.x version right? …With a function calling bug? Does that mean I can’t use any at all? I guess there is always goto’s… til I can figure out what is wrong with my computer and using the 2.95 version.

Ah! I suppose that makes sense that the batch doesn’t work like that… I just figured when it called the programs in the batch, it automatically ran them through cygwin instead of just through cmd itself. Haha! Silly me.

And I do have cygwin installed, with the necessary packages listed on the wiki: make, gcc, flex, patch, tar, gzip, autoconf, gperf, bison and a few extras it recommended and defaulted to installing as well. I also unzipped gccVB (precompiled version) to the usr directory.

However, now running in cygwin, I tried to perform ‘make’ on the demo2 of the demos pack, and I run into errors still… interestingly a bunch of them look similar to the ones I mentioned before in the last post… notably going on about `VIP_REGS’ and ‘WAM’ again.

I also tried to compile the source files again through the apparently more ‘authentic’ cygwin window instead of the batch that opened up a cygwin window… seems like it made it farther than before… so hopefully this time it’ll complete. And from what I read, it auto configures itself so I just need to simply type ‘make’ and be set to compile a VB file? (provided there is a Makefile of course ;))
*EDIT – it failed. 🙁 ERROR 2, building binutils.

If that fails though, I guess I’ll just try out the older version and see if that works out for me. It’d be nice for the newer one to work out, but I’d rather get to program on something than not at all. 🙂

I’ll get back as soon as I can… and actually another quick question… how long do I have til I can’t re-edit a post? Haha

*EDIT 2 –
Old version worked super flawlessly. Haha! I managed to compile and run right away… but is it worth it to try and get the other version to run? What are the major differences between the versions?

Thanks man! 🙂 And I definitely am all for development.. which makes this situation that much more annoying for me… a programmer unable to setup an environment. Haha! Visual Studio has spoiled me it seems. 😛

And yes to both! I tried first using the precompiled binaries, carefully following each set of steps to no real avail. I then tried to compile them myself thinking it may have something to do with how they were compiled, but just like you, I couldn’t get it to compile without error.

And yep, each ‘error’ in the previous post was indeed out of libgccvb oddly enough. And I agree, that script can’t be incorrect. So it’s just a matter of getting everything in the right spot it seems… aye!

I’ll keep messing around with things and see where it goes from there. I’m just glad I got passed it not finding the compiler…

Thanks for the support again!

Sorry for the double post, but I made progress and didn’t want people left out in the dark! 🙂

I finally solved the major “C++ compiler not installed on this system” error I had the other day(s). I ended up replacing the regular gcc.exe from the first bin folder (F:\VBoy\gccVB\bin; for me) with the other one (F:\VBoy\gccVB\v810\bin). Doing that, it now has somehow decided to find the compiler. Awesome right?

However, there are NEW problems! It compiles, but it’s riddled with various amounts of errors that can’t be errors as they are all dealing with the libgccvb.h file that comes with the demo. I’m posting all the errors in hopes someone else encountered this and recognizes the situation I’m in now.

I really am not too sure of what’s up (well obviously :-P), but I think it’s some sort of referencing issue? Or it’s interpreting it incorrectly. Is that close? Haha

Thanks again everyone! 🙂 I’m almost there! Then I can finally get to work and hopefully redeem myself of this topic. 😉

Thanks! 😀

And I definitely hope to get coding soon too! I was quite excited to find out I could use C instead of straight up Assembly so I’m drooling over that.

Anyhow though, let me see….
This is my error message(s). It seems the other two are just chain problems from the first and from what I saw cpp.exe is sub-run (can’t quite think of a better term) by gcc.exe right?

cpp: f:\vboy\projects\intro_demo\demo.C: C++ compiler not installed on this system cpp: -lang-c: linker input file unused since linking not done gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1′: No such file or directory /BIN/objcopy: f:\vboy\projects\intro_demo\demo.O: No such file or directory

Annnnnnd… here is how I’m currently setup.

This the the gccVB directory:
F:\VBoy\gccVB

I also checked the PATH variable and it was fine too:
F:\VBoy\gccVB\bin

And you mentioned that you haven’t used the batch in a while… is there a more preferred method of doing it now?

Thanks again!

*EDIT – batch did not paste too well. Haha.. here is a better view of the batch:
