Do I need to create a map editer for a rpg game?as I know ,to program a map
editer is a very difficult thing.
   Can I use a map editer that created by others?

i needed to generate an interrupt when a certain condition in my program is
reached, i wanted to fake an interrupt.

what i ended up doing is moving to irq mode and calling the regular interrupt
handler at 0x018. to the interrupt handler it looks indentical to a real
interrupt.

thanks everyone for their input about this.

recent updates include binutils 2.15.90, newlib 1.12.0 and finally, a win32
native build of Insight 5.2.1. I've also added the SDL version of Visualboy
Advance to the downloads section. This is the one you need to work with
Insight.

There is also a fairly complete set of headers included in libgba and a
small example project including a relatively generic makefile in the example
code section.

I've got a shorter url for the homepage too at http://www.devkit.tk if that
doesn't work for you, the page is still accessible through

Anyone yet? The big N seems awefully unfriendly to non-

could produce a good game.

Hi,

I get the message "Stick init failed" with a 8Mb Memory Stick.

Does anybody succeed in using Libstick on 8Mb Memory Stick ?

I would appreciate to get a tested
"smsflash+mbencryted_demo_program".gba in order to try it on my Memory
Stick.

Regards.

Thierry

The GBA normally runs in system mode, so you're free to change CPU
modes whenever you want. Just use an mrs or msr (don't remember which
is which).
What is it you're trying to do? The only thing I can think of is
messing with the FIQ regs, which I have sucessfully tested on
hardware from the normal mode.

True that the bios could change,  however, I have dumped the bios from all
of the current GBA systems,  GBA, GBA-SP, and GB-Player,  and they are all
100% identical,  so it is unlikely they will change the bios until they come
out with the next gameboy system.

But as Stephen said,  if you desire to get into an interrupt,  use a timer
to do that.

Yeah, SWI's are locked in the GBA's bios.

if you were desperate to make an interrupt, you could use one of the timer
interrupts, and set it up so the timer would overflow on the next cycle or
somesuch... But there's not much reason to use interrupts for stuff like
that because all interrupts have a fairly significant overhead (>50 cycles),
so you might as well just call some function to do the work for you.

Additionally, you *could* attempt to find a SWI vector that would do
something favorable (the SWIs are not bound-checked, so there *may* be some
4-byte address somwhere in the data/code after the jumptable that would jump
to some place in iwram, or something similar that could be useful...)
But, that's bios-dependent, if they changed the bios your code would no
longer work... not a recommended practice :)

hi,

i'll start with the obligatory, "i'm new to this" bit. i've only been
playing around w/ programming the gba for about a month.

anyhow, i would like to be able to add my own system calls, via the swi
instruction, however, the little info i have found about this implies that
the system calls are BIOS only, and that there is no way to add any
user-defined calls.

does anyone know if this is true or not? has anyone been able to define
their own syscalls?

if not, then can anoyone think of a way to force a hardware interrupt
(enter irq mode)?

thanks

Once again, you rock Uli!

Can anyone who's gotten a wholesaler account at success-hk check the
bulk price on these things? The 4Mb ones are $8 normally - seems like a
really cheap and easy way to distribute your game (as long as you can
fit it into multiboot RAM.)

Uli, can your library read more data from the stick after the game has
loaded?

No problem, once your code is running you can plug it in and out all
you want. You may, however, have to reset the serial port to a sane
state before you can communicate with the PC.

Can you plug in the thing and program it hot?  I imagine with a flash
cart you can do all the things you have done.  But what if you wanted to
say, have a bootloader program on there that boots the gba, you unplug
the sms and plug in a serial cable to the pc, download something from
the pc, replace the sms and upload to it.  does that work or does the
thing have to be plugged in from boot?

Just wondering if it is useful to hobbyists who dont have flash carts,
but might be able to get the thing programmed one time with an alternate
bootloader (boots and gives you a choice to load from flash or run a
serial application)...

The price is definitely right, hell less than 10 bucks is cheaper than a
rom cartridge from N.  You could distribute homebrew/multiboot games on
this thing...

It's 1 MB. Mind that I have only tested the code with a 4 MBit (512 kB)
stick.

> It comes with a set of tools that let you flash a multiboot image?

Not as such. I have conceived these tools by first ripping the original
MB image the stick is delivered with using a self-written multiboot
client, taking a long hard look at the disassembly, figuring how to
access the stick, ripping the raw data and comparing it with the
decrypted MB image to figure out the encryption algorithm.

Hi!

I have reverse-engineered the Xinga SMS and written a little library
that allows you store data on it. I have also reversed the encryption
of the multiboot image, thus making it possible to flash your own MB
image and boot it from the stick. The necessary encryption and
flashing tools come with the lib.

Find it here:

Mr Otaegui,

     I may be able to help you.  As a former THQ employee, I still have contacts within that company.  Contact me via e-mail (which is josephmacaulay@...) and lets discuss this.

Thank You,

Joseph Macaulay

Hello gbadev community,

I'm Javier Otaegui from Buenos Aires, and I've been an asiduous follower of
this list for about two years now.

I have almost completed a RPG, and I would like to know if anyone here has
contacts with any GBA publisher, or if anyone could give me some pointers of
how I could have this game published.

Thanks in advance,

Javier F. Otaegui

hello list,

I would like to ask you for testing support
on the uCON64 ( http://ucon64.sourceforge.net/)
tool which has newly added support
for the FLASH2ADVANCE linker:

if want to test it, you will need to checkout sources from
cvs( https://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=12381) and
you also need the the addtional
binaries( http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ucon64/f2afiles.zip?download)
to get the the f2a part  working:

Of course, if you  would like to test the parallel port code, that would be
great too. Especially when you configure the source with --enable-ppdev
(remember: Linux-only). The parallel port code *should* work on DOS, Windows,
BeOS, FreeBSD.I can imagine some GBA developers are interested,
because they can call uCON64 from some other program without extra user
intervention.

Please note that uCON64 has a quirck that the direction of
the transfer depends on the existence of a file. File exists -> send. File
does not exist -> receive.

BTW I added support to upload multiple files. The option is -xf2amulti=SIZE.
Example:
   ucon64 -xf2amulti=128 game1.bin game2.bin game3.bin
gbaloader in ~/.ucon64rc or an environment variable with that name should be
set. You could also use a command like this:
   gbaloader=someloader.bin ucon64 -xf2amulti=128 game1.bin game2.bin game3.bin

please report any bugs or problem to dbjh@...


thanks in advance

Hello Dave.

   Did you apply the GCC-3.3.3 thumb patch to build the MinGW version?

   Regards.
