Instructions and is this complete to play? #1

Hi just wondering you can give proper instruction on how to compile this also is this completed and playable?

kaspermeerts commented 3 years ago

To assemble the project, you need a copy of the original ROM as described in the README. My disassembly is incomplete, and the holes need to be filled in with the original data. For copyright reasons I cannot include it in the repository.

Then you need to have RGBDS installed, navigate to the directory of the project, and run make. I have only tested it on Linux, I have no experience with either Windows or macOS. You will need some knowledge of the command line. The instructions found here for the Pokemon Red disassembly probably apply.

The project is, for now, very incomplete. Not only is not all of the code disassembled, what has been disassembled hasn't been properly documented yet. I will take it up again one day, but for now I have nothing planned.

Yeah don't worry I am on Manjaro Linux. so does this compile to a native binary or not yet?

kaspermeerts commented 3 years ago

Oh, that was never my intent. I simply want to recreate something akin to the original source code, with all variables and routines identified and documented. The architecture of the Game Boy is so different from modern PCs, that getting it to compile would be near impossible, and not worth the effort compared to just running it in an emulator. I'm sorry to disappoint.

Ahh ok I see, it wouldn't be impossible if you have the code but it would be super awesome if I could compile and run it on my Raspberry pi 4 natively :D

This is still a very awesome project, keep up the good work!
