Beginners > Getting my toolchain to work

#178128 - kutkloon7 - Sat Nov 23, 2013 3:40 pm

Hello!

I am following this tutorial. I tried to set up my toolchan, trying both devkitadv release 4 and devkitadv release 5 beta 3, and following the steps in the tutorial. As in the tutorial, I use gcc and objcopy. Everything works as expected, until I run the .gba file using Visual Boy Advance. I get a white screen instead of a blue screen with 'HI'. Since I don't see any error messages during compilation or execution, so I don't really know what's going wrong...

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated! :)

I'm using VBA v1.8.0-beta-3 and windows 8, if that's of any help.

Devkitadv is really old. Get Devkitarm (from the DevKitPro website)

Yep! It took some time and delving in the makefiles, but I got it working with devkitpro. I made a sublime text build system so I can build roms from my text editor :)

Thanks!
