NAME

rgbasm — Game Boy assembler

SYNOPSIS

rgbasm

[-b chars] [-g chars] [-i path] [-o outfile] [-p pad_value] file

DESCRIPTION

The rgbasm program creates an object file from an assembly source file. Its arguments are as follows:

-b chars

Change the two characters used for binary constants. The defaults are 01.

-g chars

Change the four characters used for binary constants. The defaults are 0123.

-i path

Add an include path.

-o outfile

Write an object file to the given filename.

-p pad_value

When padding an image, pad with this value. The default is 0x00.

EXAMPLES

Assembling a basic source file is simple:

$ rgbasm -o bar.o foo.asm

The resulting object file is not yet a usable ROM image — it must first be run through rgblink(1) and rgbfix(1).

rgbasm was originally written by Carsten Sørensen as part of the ASMotor package, and was later packaged in RGBDS by Justin Lloyd.
