PAL60 & NTSC in one .asm file?

[eshu]

Hi,

 

I would like to work with one .asm file for both PAL60 & NTSC versions - I was hoping someone who understands DASM macros might be able to suggest how to go about this.

 

I would like to be able to do something like:

 

DEF NTSC

;DEF PAL

 

IFDEF NTSC

Var1 = $1

Var2 = $2

ENDIF

 

IFDEF PAL

Var1 = $99

Var2 = $9A

ENDIF

 

I hope this makes sense, and any help would be greatly appreciated...

Found some documentation at: http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~pjbk/scholar/dasm.html

 

I think I can do:

 

SMODE EQU 0; 0-NTSC, 1-PAL60

 

...

 

IF SMODE=0

...NTSC Code...

ELSE

...PAL60 Code...

ENDIF

The following is what I did in Medieval Mayhem, you can get the source in blog if you're interested (scroll down to the entry titled Take 4 for the current source)

 

NTSC            = 0
PAL             = 1

WallColor4 = $2a
WallColor5 = $2c

ValueColor = $68 ; Purple
SlctMenuColor = $FE ; Yellow
SlctBackground = $04 ; Grey
WingColor      = $1c ; Gold

OVERSCAN_DELAY = $1b
FIREBALL_DELAY = 70 ; 75 second delay for launch of extra fireball
                   ; (delay * 60) / 64
