Hi there!

I'm coding a lot of routines for Romancing Saga 3 translation to Spanish (please check Traducciones Magno ). Everything was ok until 2 hours ago, when I realized I can't compile my source code anymore using "x816" assembler... Why? Because my source code is really big now (all .asm files in plain text weight more than 1 Megabyte) and the code related to menus has grown so much that I get this message when compiling:

Code: Select all

Invalid length
fatal xms error, unable to continue.
Runtime error 103 at 0000:0709.

Which compiler do you recomend? xkas is pretty old and I guess Bass will be too complicated to me (I can't even decompress the file... I always get error decompressing with WinRAR).
Which compiler do you use to code SNES hombrew with big amounts of code?

Thanks!

CA65 supports 65816, I'd expect it to handle large sources without problems. I haven't done any 65816 coding with it myself though.

WLA DX should do the job.

Thanks for the replies.

I think I'll try WLA_DX because it keeps the same syntax for ASM instructions and some directives are common.
