Problems emulating

[Henry Morrison]

Hello, I am a newbie in the programming for the Atari 2600 ... I am starting with the diverse and excellent tutorials that I find on this page, and I carried out my first successful example.

 

I took a sample sample, a code already written in a .asm file, I compiled it with DASM successfully, I launched it with Stella ... wonderful! It worked

 

Unfortunately I did not have the same luck when trying to generate my own code. I copied an Assembler exercise in my word processor (PSPAD Editor), saved it with the name of "Example.asm", I successfully compiled it with DASM ... but when I tried to launch the resulting file in Stella, I got an error.

 

ERROR: Couldn't create console (Zero-byte file).

 

I hope someone can help me out with that ... one of my biggest dreams of programming an A2600 game!

The error message implies that DASM produced a binary of size zero, which in turn indicates that there was an error during assembly. Double-check the output of DASM for any errors.

I can have a look at it for you, if you'd like.

It'll be much easier to help if you attach your source code. To do that you'll need to click on More Reply Options

I don't have anything useful to add, I just had to quote you.
