kick ass! I bet this would work on mac too. sh scripts and terminal commands work the same. I'll try it out sometime this week

I have used all these roms on my famicoms with flash carts! Should be fine?

Cheers Lazerbeat!

Question is will the binary work on this handheld "emulated" famicon thing the Kenji gave me! (I don't have a Nintendo flashcart yet!)

How to compile No Carriers NES tools in Linux

2014-04-19T10:32:14Z

I spent a while working this out (cause I am dumb, not cause its hard....) and I thought I would make a record in case it is useful for anyone!

1 - Download ASM6 & follow the instructions in the read me to install it.

2 - Go to no-carrier.com & download logones, scrollnes, gallerynes or glitchnes. extract the files somewhere.

3 - Open the folder you just extracted, right click, "create new document" -> "empty document"

4 - Name the new file, compile.sh

5 - Open the file, copy & paste the relevant code into the newly created compile.sh

#!/bin/bash
asm6 logones.asm test.bin
cat test.bin geo.chr >> logones.nes
rm test.bin

#!/bin/bash
asm6 gallerynes.asm test.bin
cat test.bin geo.chr >> gallerynes.nes
rm test.bin

#!/bin/bash
asm6 glitchnes.asm test.bin
cat test.bin glitchnes.chr >> glitchnes.nes
rm test.bin

#!/bin/bash
asm6 scroll.asm test.bin
cat test.bin scroll.chr >> scrollnes.nes
rm test.bin

6 - Save compile.sh

7 - Right click compile.sh, properties -> Permissions, check "allow executing file as program"

8 - double click "compile.sh" -> Run

and your rom should compile!
