The primary differences between DevKit Advance and HAM, as I
understand it, include the following:
* HAM includes a bundled HAMlib, which adds a thin abstraction over
the GBA hardware but inserts a 1.5 second intro. DevKit Advance
lacks this.
* HAM includes an IDE. DevKit Advance comes only with command-line
tools but can be controlled by any GCC compatible IDE, including
RHIDE and possibly HAM's IDE.

Are you familiar with the operation of GCC? Or have you been
brought up strictly in an IDE environment?
