How to generate a 32KB ROM without CCI3

[Kiwi]

Since I have moved on with a new laptop with Window 11, I can't get old java based stuff working.  So I don't know how to generate a 32KB ROM with Cygwin.  And I only know how to use ckmkcart.exe, but that one only generate bankswitching ROM.  I don't remember or have a way for CCI3 to show the command that would make a 32KB cart. Anyone know how to make it?

I have generated 32kb roms still with cygwyn. I define only the first 2 banks the main and bank 1. No bankswitch will be necessary as it will detect it as a 32kb when compiling. I'm not sure if you can run over 16kb in bank 1 but to be safe assume you can't and have 2 16kb banks.

    ;; banking (must be located before the RAM sections)
    .area _bank1

If you are using sdobjcopy, you can specify that in arguments:

 

sdobjcopy -R .sec5 -I ihex -O binary --pad-to 0xffff --gap-fill 0xff crtcol.ihx $(TARGET).rom
