How do I Producing a working ROM? #1

I was able to run Git Bash to assemble the source files. But I have a question, how do I compile the ROM to Load it into an NES emulator? I'm not that much familiar with assembly. If you could provide/add a Dropbox file with the complied ROM that would be great

Add both attached files to the DragonWarriorDisassembly folder. The new build_script will overwrite the original build_script. run the new build_script. There is an extra segment of code at the end that will combine all the files into a functional ROM. The CHR_ROM.bin file is all the graphical data for the game. Let me know if this works.

Thanks for the replying. My bad for asking bro again. But what two files am I supposed to attach to "DragonWarriorDisassembly" folder. Am I supposed to download both a "new " build_script and "CHR_ROM.bin" file ? I don't see any attached files or links from your reply ( or will these be added to the repo ?).

Besides that , I understand everything else about running the new build_script in Git bash to combine all files into a functional ROM

Here how everything looks in my DragonWarriorDisassembly folder: image image image

I attached 2 files to the email. Github may have removed them. Do you have a shared drive link or an alternate email address?

I sent you an email. It says I don't have permission to upload to that drive.
