Introduction
These 68000 tools are a collection of free software I have collected
together with some scripts to allow them to be easily used.
These tools are intended to allow a relative beginner to compile
simple programs that will compile to multiple 68k destination
systems.
All compilation is done with 'VASM' via a set of batch files (found
in X:\Utils\Vasm).... and a copy of Notepad++ is provided for code
editing
Code can be easilily assembled via Notepad++ by pressing F6 to use NppExec, and selecting
one of the destinations... the appropriate batch file will be
executed building the program, and the emulator started
Disclaimer
Please use these tools at your own risk.
They are provided freely in the hope they will be of use, and have
been tested to the best of my ability but I cannot test in all
situations or guarantee they will not harm your computer in some
unexpected way.
These tools have been tested on Windows 10, Windows 7 64 bit, and
Windows XP 32 bit
With the exception of MsxHeader and PlusThreeHeader and the scripts
and examples I did not write the tools provided in this kit -
to my knowledge, all the tools in here are Free and open source, and
there is no reason they cannot be redistributed - if you know
otherwise, please notify me and I will take appropriate action to
resolve the issue.
Getting Started
1. Extract the files from the DevTools
archive into a folder on your machine - you need to preserve the
directory structure
2. Extract the sources.7z into
the same folder, overwriting existing files
3. To start run "Xdrive.bat" this
will create a virtual X drive on your machine... if X is in use, V
or W will be ued.
4. From that X drive use "Notepad++"
to edit files, F6 will open the Assembly menu
The simplest examples are in the
HelloWorld folder
5. when you are done use "Xdrive-remove" to remove the X drive
For Legal Reasons I cannot provide the NeoGeo.zip rom file... The
rom file I use has the size 1,347,250 bytes
