I already use sdcc for colecovision development

I'm going to attempt to see if I make a project for sega master system. I got the devkitsms install and setup and was able to make the hello world sample compile.

I'm sure I'll be asking a few questions here & there.

I had colecovision first & my friend got the sega master system so we played that quite a bit too. I've recently become aware hom compatible these to systems were sg1000 & coleco are very similar and the master system is backwards compatible with the sg1000.

Would be cool just to see if I could reuse much of the coleco project and get it running on a master system.

Welcome to the forum and don't hesitate to ask!

I think you'll have to recreate the graphical assets (Master System's 'mode4' graphics are different)... or you can code an SG-1000 game retaining the original graphics.

I things when converting ihx2sms and never completes. Not sure why it worked when I first installed it but now just hangs forever at that last step.

C:\cygwin64\home\gerry\devkitSMS\hello>sdcc -c -mz80 hello-sdcc.c hello-sdcc.rel

C:\cygwin64\home\gerry\devkitSMS\hello>sdcc -o output.ihx -mz80 --data-loc 0xC00
0 --no-std-crt0 crt0_sms.rel hello-sdcc.rel SMSlib.lib

C:\cygwin64\home\gerry\devkitSMS\hello>ihx2sms output.ihx output.sms
*** sverx's ihx2sms converter ***

is it getting stuck there? no messages nor other feedback?

try latest version. if it fails too, please send me your ihx file - I'll test what's wrong with my converter :|

Yeah that's it the above is the dos windows output and it just hangs with the ohx2sms line forever. Maybe it's something on my system interferrening like norton etc.

This had previously worked but this was a new install of the devkit setup

Here I zipped the hello directory.

hello.zip (122.88 KB)

the hello directory

it hangs on my PC as well.
I see the ihx file has *comments* in it, and it's something I didn't see before. Are you using SDCC, right? Which version are you using?
you can check that with:

sdcc -v

$ sdcc -v
SDCC : mcs51/z80/z180/r2k/r3ka/gbz80/tlcs90/ds390/pic16/pic14/TININative/ds400/hc08/s08/stm8 3.6.0 #9615 (MINGW64)

looks like 3.6

Please update that - it's just too old.

so I finally got it to compile to hello world example again. sdcc was too old I think and I got the lastest version of the devkit so I can try something more complex next.

Thanks

sure! keep us posted :)
