WOW! Did you make that all by yourself? Oh, and thank you! (I almost forgot to say thanks I was so surprised when I saw this.) If I do ever make a game, (which is doubtful) I can put your name in the credits. (Only if you want me to of course.)

lda MetaspriteX Nah man, haven't we helped enough? We have jobs you know Do you not have Christmas break? Anyway, I tried to make it myself and I had tried to use an incrementing pointer for it, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to work. This just codes for a simple 32x16 sprite. I made it so ...

Sounds like Espozo just needs his psycho friend :roll: Format: Number of Sprites in Meta Sprite Sprite X Sprite Y Sprite Attributes So it's just like how you would set up OAM, isn't it? Except for the number of sprites in metasprite, right? So if you wanted a metasprite made of two sprites, you wou...

just have a metasprite x,y based on the metasprite's x,y automatic calculations can be performed to derive the proper relative x/y coordinates of the sub-sprites. For instance, in your 16x32 example, composed of 2 16x16 sprites.. call em sprite0 and sprite 1 in this example metasprite x,y , call em...

About the metasprites though, I wonder how you would say how the sprites are put together. You couldn't just try to move everything after it's been dumped into the part of RAM that acts as OAM (It's best to make a replica of OAM, isn't it?), because you wouldn't know which sprites went to which meta...

"Use your mind" is how a lot of people learned their own solutions to their problems.. I figured as much. :roll: What I forgot to say in the question is if there is a good tutorial or anything to get me going. I noticed that when I looked at different codes from different people, I notice...

Yeah, yeah I know I'm bumping. :roll: I just had a couple more questions to ask, But instead of asking them, I am just going to ask how everyone knows how to execute all of the game programing essentials like the things I asked earlier. The only way I even got as far as I did is by looking at other ...

Isn't this bullet point the exact same thing as 2? What "2"? Could you please use the quote markup if you're going to be referring to a particular point of an article? A Wikipedia article may change between the day you write your post and the day when someone else reads your post, possibl...

The bullet points here should give you a quick rundown of what ARM is from a programming perspective: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture#Instruction_set quote] So this is basically what I got from each bullet point: ARM processors use loading and storing. (I thought every processor used...

Something makes me think that you don't understand how ARM processors work... You're completely right. To be honest with you, I've never even heard of ARM before the GBA. Oh, and tepples, thank you for figuring out the code! (In about 5 minutes, nonetheless :shock: ) One thing that really threw me ...

The problem is that I don't know any of the registers or anything, and I've looked at some code written in C, but it looks like some sort of alien language. It doesn't even look like you directly load or store registers or anything. It's really sad, but I don't even know what this code is that I fou...

Does anyone know of any good documents or tutorials for programing for the GBA using ASM? I looked on Google, but all I found was one not so helpful tutorial that didn't even appear to be finished on a website called patater.com. I also found a website called gbadev.org, but it only really has docum...

Also, that code doesn't work in my environment. WLA doesn't seem to know what a .SNESHEADER is... You probably already figured this out, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work is because you need a newer version of WLA. Ill elaborate on that further down the page. All I know is, the include file templ...

Sorry, but I don't get what you really mean. I just wrote LoadBlockToVRAM BackgroundPics with LoadBlockToVRAM being part of a macro that stores tile data in vram and with BackgroundPics being labeled like BackgroundPics: .INCBIN ".\\GamePictures\\256color.pic" under .BASE $40 .BANK 2 SLOT ...

I have been trying to make a hirom game and I have been able to essentially make a lorom bank in hirom, but I have not been able to use the lower $8000 half of a bank. I read something online and it told me to do something like this but it doesn't work. (all the graphics I am loading are being taken...
