how to build the rom file? (noob question)

[bomdiavermes]

Hi!

First of all, I'm sorry for the extremely noob question.
I'm new to Batari Basic, and have been trying a couple of tutorials on bB. Managed to install everything allright (bB and VbB) and to run a few examples. So now I'm trying to learn, and made a simple screen that displays some text. It compiles and runs on VbB/Stella, but the question is:

How do I build the actual ROM so I can, for exemple, send it to someone that doesn't have bB and VbB installed? I wanted to show it to a couple of friends and was hoping to send them the ROM file so they could run it in Stella, for example.

 

So far I can only see the .bas and .bin files, but can't find or build a .rom file. Am I missing something?

Once again, sorry for the newbie question. I hope in a few months I can show you some real results.

My name is Daniel Sousa, I'm a graphic designer and digital artist and also know a bit of programming in C/C++/Java, so I'm not exactly new to programming.

Thank you in advance!

errr, just realized I'm posting in the wrong forum, since this is a batari basic question. sorry for that.

The .bin File is the ROM, that is the file that is needed to run in stella. I'm no programmer so I could be wrong.

No, you're right. Got the answer in the batari forum. It's just that Stella wasn't showing my bin files, so I thought I needed an actual .rom file. Problem solved. Thanks!
