I've been trying for a bit to compile my modified VBA with no luck. It's having a lot of trouble with my version of Visual Studio (2005 beta2) and I'm rather sick of messing with it.
Any one out there half decent with C++ and feel like doing this?
gba.cpp line ~1773
find
internalRAM = (u8 *)calloc(1,0x8000);
replace
mapIRAM = CreateFileMapping((HANDLE)0xFFFFFFFF,NULL,PAGE_READWRITE, 0, 0x8000,"vbaIRAM");
internalRAM = (u8 *)MapViewOfFile(mapIRAM, FILE_MAP_WRITE, 0, 0, 0);
(Above is untested)
You'll also need to declear it (
HANDLE mapIRAM; in gba.h, and include windows.h there).
Some of my trouble:
- To build 2xSaImmx.asm, it assumes masmw.exe is in "c:\program files\nasm\" and that there's no spaces in the path to the .asm. I had to assemble it seperately from the build process.
- Wount build the DirectX headers.
- Needed to make all of the implicit 'const char *' to 'char *' convertions explicit.
- And plenty more!
Edit---
Oh, you may want to close the handle at some point, too, otherwise it will linger till you restart.
I got some stuff done just as proof of concept to my self. I'm currently implimenting tons of new stuff into the code base, but havn't had too much time to work on it at the moment. I should be able to make some progress this week.
I'm moving the output over to a TreeListView with an abstraction layer for updating, and I'm moving the main VBARead class over to a child of the abstract EmuRead. Thouse things are what are taking up most of the development time at the moment. I'm putting in a lot of effort to make sure that expanding the software for additional games and emulators is as simple as possible. Hopefuly soon I'll be able to go back to working on adding in game specific features opposed to program features, as I wish to do.
