App builder update
« on: September 12, 2009, 11:46:43 am »
Here's a quick fix for how the appbuilding will be in v0.0.3 (the emulator itself isn't working right now for an actual release).

Download this batch file, save over the one you currently have: http://otbp.tifreakware.net/files/Drag your rom here!.bat
Then download this wabbitsign.exe and put it in the makeapp folder. Delete wabbit.exe if you want to. http://otbp.tifreakware.net/files/wabbitsign.exe

Now the builder will probably work much better. Yay!

What did cause the errors on some XP installs and not others, btw? Could it have something to do if it was Home, Pro, SP1, SP2 or SP3 that was installed? I got XP Home SP2 installed and never got problems with the builder. Sometimes, the Wabbitemu included with TI-Boy SE would crash when launching, though,  which was fixed by launching another copy of Wabbitemu on my computer, selecting a ROM, exiting then going back to the TI-Boy SE unnofficial WabbitEmu build.

Yeah this can't be helped I think. This would probably become worse if on newer 84+ Calc84 eventually got to use new ways to get it to work that are much slower. However, most games should remain relatively playable, like Zelda and Metroid. Also, IIRC, certain games runs faster in menus

calc84maniac, There's a rather easy way to compile with Spasm2, is there a major difference between wabbitsign and Spasm?

app.asm
Code: [Select]
#import 1.bin
.db "Space   "
#import 2.bin
#import Space.gb
#import 3.bin

I used your Space.gb file that comes with TI-Boy SE to compile the app and DJ Omnimaga confirmed that the file worked(on wabbitemu anyway), so you might want to stick with Spasm2 if there isn't a big difference between wabbitsign.

Reason: Spasm 2 can crash on large files (which is what was causing all these problems in the first place)
