Looks like you have the environment variable set, but is the path also correct? From commandline type path and make sure c:\BB is included.

will i have to edit the 2600bas.bat?

 

i have no idea

will i have to edit the 2600bas.bat?

It looks like there's a problem with the DASM command line. I know of two possible reasons:

(1) Maybe you have a space inside the name of a directory or file?

(2) Maybe there's a problem with the way the DASM command line is typed in the batch file?

 

If it's case 1, you can fix it by adding quotation marks in the Crimson Editor tool that calls the compile batch. I checked my setup, and the only quotation marks I have in the compile tool are in the Argument field, as follows:

Argument: "$(FilePath)"

 

If it's case #2, you can fix it by editing the batch file. This problem is discussed in another thread, so you might want to search for that thread for a complete description, but following are two problems I can see within the default batch file:

(1) Wherever you see a greater than (>), less than (<), or pipe (|) in the batch file, make sure there's a space on both sides of it.

(2) Wherever you see a slash, make sure to change it to a backslash *if* the slash is supposed to be part of a directory path-- e.g., -I%bB%/includes should be -I%bB%\includes.

 

Of course, it could be something else causing the problem. The only way to be sure what the problem is would be to edit the batch file (2600bas.bat) and temporarily remove the first line (@echo off), or else temporarily change it to say @echo on. Then you should be able to see what the DASM command line looks like when you're compiling, to help you figure out what's wrong with it.

Edit: With regard to the slash and backslash, it should be noted that this refers to using the 2600bas.bat file in a *Windows* environment, because Windows uses backslashes in directory paths, whereas Unix uses slashes in directory paths.

thank you for your tips. now, this is the result. i think it is not a big thing, just a little bug somewhere (?). i don´t see it

It looks like there are some spaces there that should *not* be there:

 

-I c:\BB\includes

Take out the space that's right after the -I.

 

-o C:\BB\1944.bas.bin

Take out the space that's right after the -o.

 

I think that should fix the problem.

you are the godfather of 8-bit technology. now it works. if my new game idea is playable, you will get it first.

 

thank you thank you thank you

[SeaGtGruff]

I'm glad it's working now!
