Coding > Newbie: Any tutorials?

#4136 - Reaper - Thu Mar 20, 2003 2:17 pm

Hi, I'm a total newbie (xcept Z80 ASM)(is the GBA still using that processor?) and I wondered: are there any tutorials availale to begin programming for the GBA?

(Please forgive me that my English is not the best...)

GBA is no longer using the z80 clone processor except in compatibility mode to run GBC games. Instead, it uses an ARM7TDMI processor.

You can find a GBA programming tutorial at The Pern Project.

Yea I used gbajunkie's tutorials to start off, then I went to the pernproject for all the things gbajunkie didn't cover.

I tried one tutorial, but my VC++ doesn't work (unfortunately...). I'm using Digital Mars C++, but that compiler doesnt' get the hang of the makefiles made by Visual C++.
So my question is: Do you really need a C++ compiler to develope GBA stuff???
