 # gba
+
 A crate that helps you make GBA games
+
+# First Time Setup
+
+[ketsuban](https://github.com/ketsuban) is the wizard who explained to me how to
+do this stuff.
+
+1) Install `devkitpro`. They have a graphical installer for Windows, or you can
+   use pacman or whatever for linux things I guess. The goal here, among other
+   things, is to have a `binutils` setup that's targeting `arm-none-eabi`. We'll
+   also use some of their tools that are specific to GBA development so if you
+   for some reason already have the appropriate `binutils` then you probably
+   still want devkitpro.
+   * On Windows you'll want something like `C:\devkitpro\devkitARM\bin` and
+     `C:\devkitpro\tools\bin` to be added to your PATH. I'm not sure on the
+     directories for other systems. If you know then file a PR with the info.
+
+2) Next we use `cargo install cargo-xbuild` to get that all setup.
+
+3) Create a binary project. We're going to want nightly rust for this, so if you
+   don't already have it set to default to nightly you should [set that
+   up](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rustup.rs#the-toolchain-file) for
+   this project.
+
+4) Clone this repo. It has an appropriate `main.rs` that will draw three test
+   dots as well as other support files:
+  * crt0.s
+  * linker.ld
+  * thumbv4-none-eabi.json
+  * build.rs
+
+5) Run `arm-none-eabi-as crt0.s -o crt0.o` to build the `crt0.s` into a `crt0.o`
+   file. You could theoretically to it only when `crt0.s` changes, but in out
+   `build.bat` file it's set to simply run every single time because it's a
+   cheap enough operation.
+
+6) Build with `cargo xbuild --target thumbv4-none-eabi.json`
+  * The file extension is significant, and `cargo xbuild` takes it as a flag to
+    compile dependencies with the same sysroot, so you can include crates
+    normally. Well, crates that can run inside a GBA at least (Which means they
+    have to be `no_std`, and even `no_alloc`).
+  * This generates an ELF binary that some emulators can run directly (which is
+    helpful because it has debug symbols).
+
+7) Also you can patch up the output to be a "real" ROM file:
+  * `arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary target/thumbv4-none-eabi/debug/gbatest target/output.gba`
+  * `gbafix target/output.gba`
+
+8) Alternately, you can use the provided `build.bat` file (or write a similar
+   `build.sh` file of course), which does all four steps above.
+
+9) Time to read the [Tonc](https://www.coranac.com/tonc/text/toc.htm) tutorial
+   and convert all the C code you see into rust code.
