This is a version of famitone5 with extra scripts for creating binary blobs usable with other NES toolchains.
For making binary versions of song data as well to work with this binary version of famitone5, see the README.md
file in the text2data directory.
Binary blob compiled with the default options (DPCM samples @ $FC00, Famitone5 itself @ $C000) is provided in the bin directory
DON'T FORGET TO CHECK famitone5.info FOR THE ADDRESS OF EACH FUNCTION IF YOU CHANGE THE BINARY TO RESIDE IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION IN ROM !!!
The scripts used to build the binary files expect the cc65 toolchain to be accessible to your system.
Install cc65, then either add the cc65\bin folder to your PATH variable,
or edit the scripts to use the full path to your ca65 and cl65 executables, i.e.
change ca65 to C:\cc65\bin\ca65.exe and ld65 to C:\cc65\bin\ld65.exe,
and do that for both make.bat files.
Run make.bat to build famitone5.bin. Resulting famitone5.bin and famitone5.info files are placed
in the bin directory.
To use famitone5.bin in a project, simply use your preferred toolchain to place famitone5.bin at the
location in ROM that was specified when building it. It is recommended to have a dedicated bank for music data, so
normally famitone5.bin is placed either at $8000 or $C000 in whatever bank you choose.
Read original_readme.txt, usage.txt, internal.txt, and warning.txt for info on how to make songs in
Famitracker that will work with Famitone5. Read the README.md file in text2data for more info on how
to convert the Famitracker module into a binary format compatible with Famitone5.
