#define BG_MAP_BASE(base) ((base) << MAP_BASE_SHIFT)
Macro to set the map base in background control.

for what system do you want to develop a game?

a quick search gave me this: http://www.deanlee.cn/programming/conve ... e-to-utf8/

see if that works.

didn't you ask that same question here?:

you are right, according to gbatek. I'm editing video.h anyway to add doxygen comments, so I have added the following to the enums: VRAM_G_TEX_PALETTE_SLOT0 = 3 | VRAM_OFFSET(0), //!< maps vram g to 3d texture palette slot 0. VRAM_G_TEX_PALETTE_SLOT1 = 3 | VRAM_OFFSET(1), //!< maps vram g to 3d text...

you can find the installer on the devkitPro sourceforge page:

the proces of setting it up for VS2008 is also described here:

I'm pretty sure that it works the same for gba projects.

just name your files as .cpp instead of .c and the makefile will take care of the rest.

and if you want to use the libraries in a c++ way, then you have to write your own wrappers for it.

I don't know much about how make works with environment variables, but have you tried putting "export PATH := $(DEVKITARM)/bin:$(PATH)" in your makefile?

also, wouldn't it be easier to just take the makefile from the examples?

you can also use the 3d system for sprites, if you know how.
