## What is pokecrystal11.gbc?
|
|
|
|
Version 1.1 of Pokémon Crystal, which fixed some issues with the initial international release. `make crystal11` defines `_CRYSTAL11` so the assembly builds the changed version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Can't build ROM; "ERROR: `UNION` already defined"
|
|
|
|
Download [**rgbds 0.3.3**][rgbds]. Earlier versions will not work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Can't build ROM; "Segmentation fault" from `rgbgfx`
|
|
|
|
If you are using 64-bit Windows, download [**64-bit Cygwin**][cygwin] and [**64-bit rgbds**][rgbds].
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Can't build ROM; "Section is too big" or "Unable to place section in bank"
|
|
|
|
If you have not changed any of the asm, make sure you have the latest version of pokecrystal and the correct version of rgbds (see [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md)).
|
|
|
|
If you added or changed any code, it has to fit in the **memory banks**. The 2MB ROM is divided into 128 banks of 4KB each, numbered $00 to $7F. The linkerscript **pokecrystal.link** lists which `SECTION`s go in which banks. Try moving some code into a new section.

|
|
## How do I edit maps?
|
|
|
|
For `asm` scripts, read [docs/map_event_scripts.md](docs/map_event_scripts.md). For `blk` layouts, try [crowdmap][crowdmap] or [Polished Map][polished-map].
|
|
|
|
|
|
## How do I write new features?
|
|
|
|
There are a number of special-purpose scripting languages, as described in [docs](docs/). For more general features, you'll need to code directly in assembly language. See [docs/assembly_programming.md](docs/assembly_programming.md).
