    Good question! icon_smile.gif

    Wait for the Kickstarter to show up, read it carefully, and decide if this is worthwhile to you. Be wary of "giving" money to someone based on a dream (do research here on AA and elsewhere). Personally, based on the history of this non-product and the people involved, I won't participate in this particular Kickstarter, unless the product is 100% completed (it won't be) and ready to ship. If it's ever available sometime later, I'll decide then if it's worth spending money on.

    Ah, so they haven't launched a Kickstarter yet. I did some more searching and many speculate that this could be a potential scam. What are your thoughts on that?

    But haven't you heard? It was featured in engadget and shown at the world-famous new york toy fair.

    Currently, it plays SNES roms with a very high level of perfection, and the case is already done--except the power button and that hole in the back.

     

    When the project launches on kickstarter, we'll probably be treated to some full-board shots of a standard dev board. Or if it hasn't arrived in the mail yet, RGB converters with 'FPGA' written on the chips in whiteout. 'see, I told you I had an fpga in there and working--here it is on the table with its light on.'

    Nope, I only heard from friends but never bothered to point out the details. Anyways, thanks for some of the information, I managed to find a video on Youtube that showed them playing a SNES game on it. However, there's one thing I wonder. NES, SNES etc. game cartridges can get pretty expensive nowadays (depending on the game, obviously) and since we already have emulators and ROMs to play hard to find or exclusive to Japan titles for free, why bother buying this console? Or does this come with extras?

    These two files (vcs.h and macro.h) are distributed with DASM, and contain code and equates that are needed to get your program working.

    Simply put, the assembler can't "see" those files when it's looking for them. Copy them from the DASM directory to the same directory as your source file and this should fix it.

    If you don't have them, they should be easy enough to find - try the sourceforge DASM repository, for example.

    Essentially it's a path problem - can't find the files as they're not on the search path, or they don't exist. Fix that!

     

    Ah! So that's what it meant! Silly me! Indeed the files seem to be missing.

    I'll keep you updated

     

    EDIT: I forgot to specify that the DASM I downloaded came from https://sourceforge.net/projects/dasm-dillon/It only came with dasm.Darwin.x86, dasm.exe and dasm.Linux.x86. I can't seem to find the dasm repository on SourceForge

    Greetings,

     

    I am new to the Atari 2600 and Assembly. I have been following this awesome tutorial but I came across an issue from using this tutorial's code and I am not sure how to fix it.

     

    I get this:

    Fatal assembly error: Source is not resolvable.

     

     

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
