Hi

I am new to MSX development, and I am experimenting SDCC & Hex2Bin to create MSX programs on Mac OSX. I've followed the steps on Avelino's MSX Page to the letter, and although I don't have any errors or warnings my binary gives me the *Direct Statement in File" error, which I believe is caused by the fact, the OS thinks it is a BASIC program.

The program I am trying to run is the simple Hello World on that page...

Did you guys see that before? Any tips that could me help with it?

Thanks

Paulo

Oh, I also forgot to mention that I use the "crt0msx_msxdos.s" startup code.

What kind of programs are you creating (for MSX-DOS or to run under BASIC) and how are you trying to start them exactly?

From the looks of it, you're creating an MSX-DOS program (a .COM file), so you should start it from MSX-DOS.

Hey Manuel,

thanks! That was a noob mistake! You are right. After booting MSX-DOS the program is working perfectly.

Thanks!
