Looks like you posted while I was editing. Here we go. Why does rm need to remove the file before it's even made? Is it incase the file has already been created? If so wouldn't it just be overwritten?

Thanks for all your help.

OK, I decided before I went any further I would get cygwin running like it should (I was having trouble with more than just make). Everything seems to be working peachy now, but will I need to create makefiles for programs I write? If so, can I just edit the makefiles in the examples some how? I'm a...

Thanks, now that I think of it the examples already have the romdisks made for them I just didn't include it when I compiled it.

The output I did get was hello.file. Do I just need to rename this to ip.bin to use it or is there something further I have to do with it?

I got it to compile, but it's having trouble with the romdisk for some reason.

.....:30: undefined reference to '_romdisk'

If I remove the romdisk it seems to compile fine.

I get, bash: make: command not found I also tried, $ gcc hello.c -o hello and got, bash: gcc: command not found edit: Now that I'm beginning to understand what a weird pain in the butt compiling with gcc is I don't feel so silly about asking for this. Thanks to the home of the hitmen I'm getting clo...

Could someone give me an example of what to type into cygwin in order to compile one of the kos examples? I realize this is an odd request, but I'm trying to learn Cygwin/bash, GCC, and kos all at the same time, and I think it would help a lot if I had a jumping off point I could work from. I'm usin...

So if you don't use it you just need to make time to load stuff off the cd while the program is running? The second way seems kind of pointless. If your going to have to load stuff off the cd you may as well load exactly what you need, unless you mean you can load different romdisk images containing...

I'm trying to find out some info on the romdisk thing that kos uses. From what I've found out it's a read only file system designed for speed and space conservation. Sounds perfect for the DC, but I've also noticed in some of Dan Potter's examples that he doesn't always use it. Could someone explain...

Last time I checked Cryptic Allusion was down. I found the examples. Thanks, I don't know how I missed them before

I'm looking for some sample code or open source game code that showcases the use of KOS really well, preferably something that has decent comenting :wink: Is there a sourceforge page or something where I could download some stuff? It just now occured to me that the homebrew page would probably be a ...

LOL. Some people will believe anything.

Besides, Zacharia Stitchin writes way better stuff.

College is a waste of time and money. The whole "going to college will get you a better job with more money" is bullshit. I've never seen any valid data that proves it. If you want a good job with good money then go to a technical/trade school. Most actually have a little something called ...

I was disapointed. The colors are washed out, and the controllers button layout doesn't make any sense. It was an empty promise.

Keep it up. Even if no one enters, it's still a good reminder for people to get off their lazy butts and start coding.

I don't know my national anthem either, but I can tell you how much the government takes out of my check every week. That's how I know I'm an american citizen.

I'll take Gunbird 2 instead, or more recently Mushihimesama for ps2, awsomness.

Have any of the rest of you heard about those pirates attacking that cruise ship? That was awsome. I wanna be a pirate.

What the hell is wrong with you people. We arent living in 1940's Germany. It's just a word. Get over it. They can't "Get over it", because in order to do that they would have to come to terms with the fact that their whole bigoted argument for racism is built around their own personal in...

Guardian Heroes Advance is even worse. Honestly though, I've never played a treasure game that I actually liked (except maybe Wario World for GC).
