What is RGBDS-linux?
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
RGBDS-linux is a revival of the "Rednex GameBoy Development System" (RGBDS),
|
|
a set of tools that allow you to compile your own games and programs for the
|
|
Nintendo GameBoy.
|
|
|
|
RGBDS consists of an assembler (rgbdasm), a linker (xlink), a library manager
|
|
(xlib), and a tool for producing valid GameBoy ROM images (rgbfix).
|
|
|
|
I _think_ this is the development history of RGBDS/ASMotor:
|
|
|
|
* Around 1997, Carsten Sorensen (AKA SurfSmurf) writes ASMotor as a
|
|
general-purpose assembler/linker system for DOS/Win32
|
|
|
|
* Around 1999, Justin Lloyd (AKA Otaku no Zoku) adapts ASMotor to
|
|
read and produce Z80 assembly/machine code, and releases this
|
|
version as RGBDS.
|
|
|
|
This (RGBDS-linux) is an adaption of RGBDS intended for use on GNU/Linux
|
|
systems. In short, we provide a project layout and user interface that is more
|
|
familiar to GNU/Linux users. Note that we make no attempt to retain backwards
|
|
compatibility with the original RGBDS, or even the possibility to run the
|
|
programs on DOS/Win32.
|
|
|
|
Also expect improvements and bugfixes to make their way into the source code.
