Ok, so basicly when I opened the hello world example for the ds (in programmer's notepad) and try to make/compile it. The output section (down the bottom of the editor) gives me this error...

Code: Select all

> "make" 
main.cpp

Can anyone tell me how to fix it

Thanks

It looks like the rom tool is trying to find basic.arm7 in devkitpro\libnds. In my devkitpro, this file is now default.arm7. So, copiing that file and renaming it to basic.arm7 might at least solve the error. I guess if you look in your makefile, you will find the reference to basic.arm7 in it, which you can change to default.arm7 (A better solution.) I somehow think your project and sources used to be compiled with an older version of the devkitpro, but being new to the scene as well, I can't tell you when they changed the arm7 code name.

I will try it out after I clean my keyboard.

Use the devkitPro Updater to get the most recent toolchain and support libraries. You appear to be using a mixture of old and new components.
