Title: Compile Off-Calc
Post by: SirCmpwn on September 14, 2010, 04:51:56 pm

If I have a .8xp file with Axe source, how can I compile it to an application off-calc?  Can I pull apps off of WabbitEmu, perhaps?

You can't. This is because of the massive differences between program files and apps. For one, program files can use SMC, whereas apps cannot.  I believe, therefore, that there are different routines used to access data.  Either that, or at least the program has to be written with app compiling in mind.

I don't think it's possible, but don't know for sure.

Well, I know how to use Axe :P, and I have an app on my calculator, however, I am only able to use msd8x and therefore only able to transfer the source.

Hm... no, WabbitEmu can't export applications. I'm not sure what you should do...
Maybe you could write an Axe program (or assembly) that will copy an app into an appvar then write a computer program to convert the appvar back to an app?

Yeah, that may be the best way to go.  At the moment, Buckeye is working on WabbitEmu to make an export app feature.

Yeah, if I can't get this, I will do just that.

Finally, Buckeye gets around to adding it :P (We're very appreciative)
Good luck with whatever this is for :) (contest, I suppose?)

I think there is a way to export a .sav file from wabbitemu and then maybe you can steal a portion from that with a hex editor.

Maybe.  I'll look into it.

This is for the contest?  If so, i see no problem with the judges compiling the program on their own, whether on calc or on emu

I could compile the app maybe. One thing I wonder, though: what'S the best way to sign apps? I haven't done that in ages. However, as Builderboy said, when sending your contest entry you can just send the source and instructions on how to compile (including the Axe version used). We compile the stuff ourselves actually.

Okay, I can send instructions and source, if that is easier.
