Problems with running a .bin with MESS
Posted: Sun Sep 01, 2013 2:57 pm
Hello everyone,
I am new here and recently I decided to start learning Sega Genesis programming as a hobby since it's my favorite console since childhood. I study programming and I use C and Java, we did some asm but we never really got that into it.
I've been following the guides from this blog: http://bigevilcorp.wordpress.com and I downloaded the files of part 5 but I can't get it to run on an emulator.
The assembler I got is SN 68k version 2.53 and I am running Windows 7, 64 bit. When I download and extract MD_TextTest.zip from http://bigevilcorp.wordpress.com/2012/04/ there's 6 .asm files and 1 folder that has one of the .asm's, I place them all in a folder where's asm68k.exe and run the .exe. Of those 6 .asm files, the one named "hello.asm" has the following lines on top:
So I expect that after I run in cmd: >asm68k.exe hello.asm,hello.bin to all of the rest of the .asm's that it needs, as the hello.bin will be the rom that should be played by an emulator, right? It's kinda new to me so it confuses me. It does says: Assembly completed. 1021 lines, which is more than what hello.asm alone has.
When I try to run that .bin with MESS, I get:
What am I doing wrong here?
