Test template program
First try to compile and run the template program:
- Go to MSXgl\projects\template
- Execute build.bat
- Go to MSXgl\projects\template\emul\rom, check if template.rom exists and try it on your MSX machine or emulator.
Note: If you have configured an emulator path in MSXgl\projects\default_config.cmd, you can edit build.bat and change "set DoRun=0" to "set DoRun=1" to allow auto-launch of the built program.
Create your project directory
Now that everything work well, let's create your own program.
You can sure start a new project from scratch, but for this example lets duplicate template directory an rename it mygame.
Rename template.c to mygame.c.
Setup your project
Edit build.bat:
- Change ProjName to mygame.
- Set Machine to the version MSX hardware you want to support for your program. Let's say 2 for
. - Set Target to your target format. Let's say ROM_48K (ROM on page 0, 1 and 2 with page 1 & 2 selected at startup).
- If you have configured an emulator path in MSXgl\projects\default_config.cmd, set DoRun" to 1 to allow auto-launch (easier to test your program).
