started Mattel Aquarius version

[Pset]

Ok this should work now. Had to learn some batch script and some bash script and now it should compile on Windows with these .bat files and on linux(mac?) with the .bs files.

It does leave a bunch of build files, for now.
Here's what the no rm version looks like.

Code:

REM Windows Batch Compiler Script REM For Boriel's ZX BASIC to Aquarius Computer Catridge ROM REM No RM version 1.0 January 13 2014 REM Write Null file, very important ECHO NULL > Null REM ZXB is the main SDK executable. It can act both as a compiler or as a translator: REM http://www.boriel.com/en/software/the-zx-basic-compiler/ REM this command creates a binary machine code compilation of the 8k catridge header REM see library/aquarisromheader16kb.bas for bigger cart. zxb library/aquariusromheader.bas --org=0x0000 REM copy 16 BYTES header into temp files dd ibs=1 count=16 skip=16 if=aquariusromheader.bin of=example01.tmr REM compiling the basic program to cartridge memory zxb example01.bas --asm --org=0xE010 zxb example01.bas --org=0xE010 REM append rom header binary to assembly code binary copy example01.tmr /b + example01.bin /b example01.tmr REM create an 8K empty file my settings may be wrong. dd if=Null of=_dummybytes.bin bs=8192 count=1 seek=1 REM append the temp binary data with space to fill the 8k rom copy example01.tmr /b + /b _dummybytes.bin example01.tmr /b REM cleaning up old build files REM rm _dummybytes.bin example01.bin ECHO Writing only 8k of TMR binary to ROM file dd ibs=1 count=8192 skip=0 if=example01.tmr of=example01.rom

I think this stuff could really help get things rolling where we are stuck at writing ROMS from z88 development kit
More discussion on that at Atari

See the version just before this version in action.


WOOOHOO.
