Prerequisites
- Use one of these platforms:
- Windows (recommended)
- Linux
- Install the following:
- Python 3.11+ and pip
- GCC 9+
- Ninja
- Install the Python dependencies:
python -m pip install -r tools/requirements.txt
- Install pre-commit hooks:
pre-commit install
- Run the Ninja configure script:
python tools/configure.py
By default this will configure for any version that has a baserom in the extract folder (see below), to configure for one specific version:
python tools/configure.py [--version | -v] <eur|jp>
- Put one or more base ROMs in the
/extract/directory of this repository.
Now you can run ninja to build a ROM for the chosen version.
Note
For Linux users: Wibo is used by default. If you want to use Wine instead, run
configure.pywith-w <path/to/wine>.
Matching the base ROM
This is optional! You only need to follow these steps if you want a matching ROM.
First, extract the ARM7 BIOS from your DS device. Put the ARM7 BIOS in the root directory of this repository, and verify that your dumped BIOS matches one of the following:
| File name | SHA1 |
|---|---|
arm7_bios.bin |
6ee830c7f552c5bf194c20a2c13d5bb44bdb5c03 |
arm7_bios.bin |
24f67bdea115a2c847c8813a262502ee1607b7df |
LSP setup
This is likely not necessary. Most C++ editors usually have their one LSP (Language Server Protocol, a tool for code completion and more) configuration that should recognize the project structure and work out of the box. This section is about how to setup your LSP yourself if the need be.
The repository contains a CMakeLists.txt that allows generating a compilation database. For now, the CMakeLists.txt can only be used to generate compile_commands.json and similar files, not compiling the project.
To generate the compilation database, run cmake -S . -G "Unix Makefiles" -B cmake from the root directory of the project. This will create a cmake/ directory that contains the compile_commands.json.
Once the file is generated, you can dynamically link it to the root directory and let your LSP detect it (make sure not to git add it though), or edit your .clangd as follows for it to recognize the compilation database:
CompileFlags:
CompilationDatabase: "cmake"
This setup is adapted from a tutorial by Strus, refer to his post for further details.
