I posted this in the wrong forum.. So I will post it where it says to..(Its about devkitpro and a compile error)

ok so I got helloworld to work through Wiiload

And now im trying to make different programs

that are already coded from here:
[wiibrew.org]

Like I was tryin to make this one:
#include
// ...
SYS_ResetSystem(SYS_RESTART,0,0);


Which is reboot.elf

in programmers notepad I try to make it and it
says: make: ***no target specified and no makefile found

Do I need to make a make file first before I compile it in Programmers Notepad??
If so how?

Thanks for helping a newb :)

I tried to use the make file from helloworld to see if that works but It diden't...

Is it a common mistake or something easy im forgetting? Can anyone help me out??
Thanks again..

It should've came with a makefile. If not, use the default one in the template program provided with devkitPRO.

ok.. Thank you for answering.. It seems if its a simple thing,
no one cares to help the newbs......

Look at the Getting Started and Fixmii forums and tell me that :-). Anyway, if you need anything else post here!

but not in "Offtopic" you were right... wrong forum :D

No you misunderstood me mdbrim

I originally posted this in the coding forum..

And I realized the reason no one was answering me because I was in the wrong forum..

It even says that if you dont know coding this is the wrong forum.



Anyway.... Ive made a few unsuccessful apps that don't work.

So, I was tryin to mess with snes9X GX
but Its so confusing because there's tons
of files.

Maybe Snes9X GX isen't the best way to learn how to make homebrew..
I hear find a program and look at the code, change it and see what it does.

But whats the best app to use??

oh no, i understand, and agree about the coding forum maybe not being the best place for early questions, but i would post in the getting started forum, or Homebrew general.

Both fall under the rule stated in the code forum.

That way people will be able to find it. Most folks don't necessarily look in the OFF TOPIC forum for code questions. You'll get more answers there :D

Honestly, i used "Another rock paper scissors" to get a look at a simple wii mote interface to display pictures... and i remember thinking how complicated it looked back then!!!

And depending on what graphics package you are looking at, the tutorials and examples for GRRLIB 4.0 are really good, (but they obviously only teach you how to do things using GRRLIB and there are a bunch of dif choices out there to pick from).

If you go with GRRLIB, i can help with most questions... other folks here are familiar with the other libraries for graphics.

For audio, there are some good asnd examples.

Just depends on what you want to do.

Natural progression (according to mdbrim) is:

Hello world.
Display multiple lines of text
Display variables that change when you hit buttons
Display a number that increases when you hit A and decreases when you hit B
Add a reset to zero button.

Display a picture
Make picture rotate with wiimote input
Make picture move with wiimote input
Make picture animated with tilesets

Add sound effects
Add music

so on and so on.

Regarding forum placement, this could be in Getting Started, Homebrew General, or Offtopic.

Regarding trying to "make" emulators, those emulators require additional libraries installed. I think Tantric has the necessary dependencies available for download on the emulators' download page.
