I just noticed that the latest "development" version of FASM 1.67 has broken with tradition and the previous "stable" version is no longer available for download, thus breaking the code in my attachment at post #1.
Yes, I wil fix this sometime in the next few days when I get a chance to look into the problem.

that gba header won't work on a real gba, the logo needs to be the nintendo logo (it's kind of a checksum), and the checsum at the end shouldn't be 0 either. Wink

So THAT's why the nintendo logo is garbled when the cartridge is dusty Wink

I have tryed this on my real GBA and works fine, i have also seen the code in the screen shot and it uses the same header. They seem to be real GBA and nintendo DS device's to me
All the Flash rom cartridge's that i have heard of come with a some kind of menu which does the checksum! plus it would be border line ileagle to put a real rom logo and checksum ect....but as you can see from the above screenshot does not need it

Well i think you may of been reading the wrong tuts, as it works fine on my real GBA and DS Wink.
And its used in this demo:
http://www.dex4u.com/images/gbademo.jpg
Remember 99% of people that try it, will be using a flash cart that boots to a menu.

well, with a menu it works obviously, as the header of that launcher gets checked by the gba, the menu then just jumps into the code of the app/game, without the header. but there are still old cartridges around which don't have a launcher/menu. you disable those people to use dex4u Wink

Your right, But i have a multi-boot compliant header that is much bigger, and can be used for such a old cartrighes, but i tryed to keep it simple for a basic demo Wink.

I have updated the attachment at post #1 in this thread.

Two changes:
1) Support for FASM 1.67.x, now you can compile the LINUX binary with v1.67.7
2) Added the accounting info such as SizeOFCode etc. as dicussed with vid a few days ago.

Nice to see that.

FASMARM has supported THUMB mode from the very first version. Use either "CODE16" or "USE16" to switch to THUMB mode.

FASMARM has it's own webpage http://arm.flatassembler.net

Tomasz Grysztar was kind enough to offer some web space so many thanks go to him for that.

In the interests of keeping this message board free from excess attachments I will remove the attachment at the head of this thread. So if you need to download FASMARM go to the url above.

The page is very basic and minimalistic, so don't expect too much. Just the essentials.

As usual, any problems or question etc. feel free to post them here.

you can find "Device Emulator" downloadable from Microsoft, but you will also need ActiveSync, you can download it too. or they are installed with Visual Studio 2005.
