Use this file to -describe the build process. - -## Overview - -Starting from a bare repository, you need to do the following things to get -a translated MOTHER 1+2 ROM: - -1. Get an original MOTHER 1+2 ROM and EarthBound ROM (not provided here). - 1. Name the MOTHER 1+2 ROM `m12fresh.gba` and place it in the repository - folder. - 2. Name the EarthBound ROM `eb.smc` and put it in the same folder. -2. Download [armips](https://buildbot.orphis.net/armips/) and copy `armips.exe` to the repository folder. -3. Build the build (see below). -4. Build the script (see below). -5. Build the hack and insert it into the ROM (see below). - -## Building the build - -This only has to be done once, assuming you're not making changes to the -build tools. - -You will need Visual Studio to build the build. The Community edition is free: - -https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/community/ - -Download and install that. Then, for each of the following solution files, - -1. ScriptTool\ScriptTool.sln -2. SymbolTableBuilder\SymbolTableBuilder.sln -3. compiled\Amalgamator\Amalgamator.sln - -do the following: - -1. Open the .sln file with Visual Studio -2. In the Solution Explorer pane, right-click the solution and "Restore - NuGet Packages" -3. Once that finishes, right-click the solution again and "Build Solution" - -## Building the script - -"The script" refers to the translation files in the `working` folder. - -You will use ScriptTool.exe (one of the things you built earlier) to build the -script. It will be located in ScriptTool\ScriptTool\bin\Debug\ScriptTool.exe. - -This is a command-line tool. Syntax: - -`ScriptTool.exe -compile -main -misc ` - -There's no batch file for this, although I ought to make one. You will have to -run this every time you make a change to the script. - -## Building the hack - -After the script is built, you need to build the hack code and insert it into -the MOTHER 1+2 ROM file. This is taken care of by `insert.bat`; it will generate a file called `m12.gba` with everything ready. - -There's another one-time pre-requisite to take care of before you can run it. - -### C code - -Some of the hack code is written in C and cross-compiled to ARM with GCC. -In addition to armips described above, you will need to install this -GCC toolchain: - -[gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2017-q4-major-win32](https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads) - -It was at version 7-2017-q4-major at the time of writing, but I imagine newer -versions work just fine. Download and run the installer linked above. Make sure -you add the path to your environment variable. \ No newline at end of file
