Build Problems

Whenever I build my Rom, I always get this error

Code:

SNASM68K, version 2.1D, Dec 06 1995, 11:55:16, DOS4G PRO

(c) 1993-95 Cross Products Ltd. All Rights Reserved

s2comb.asm(43576) : Error 06060 : Branch offset 0 is not allowed



1 error encountered processing file 's2comb.asm'

102370 source statements in 122868 lines processed in 0.6 seconds

I tried deleting the line or two at line number 43576 (Psy suggested t) but after building my ROM it came back. I don't think it has anything to do with the coding of s2.asm, does it?


EDIT: Fixed Tags

 

Show what you did to the ASM file you edited to get this error, we can't help otherwise.

 

Got it fixed now. I had to see what the line was in s2comb.asm and then look in s2.asm and delete the same line. It was useless anyway, all it did was branch to the next object which if it wasn't there it wouldn't have changed anyway as nothing was pointing to it.

 

Why would you branch to something to follow? XD It's an error I've made a lot.

 

I didn't type that, I found it, it was just there.

 

This is why I hate working with disassemblies that use an external program for includes (thank God Aurochs's disassembly doesn't do this). It's a pain in the ass opening up s2comb.asm/s1comb.asm (which is always huge), examining the line giving the error, locating the corresponding line in the actual asm file, and fixing that.

 

I figured it out, and afterwards my ROM was gaying. It would load EHZ1, then play the continue sound, then reset. So I restarted my coding, starting with a brand new ASM file and fixed it. I use ConTEXT with both s2.asm and s2comb.asm so I don't have to worry about loading it over and over.

 

If you're restarting coding, you might as well use Aurochs' disassembly, or at least one of the incbined ones ...

 

You should never delete lines to fix errors, especially if you can't see the purpose of that line. Clearly it was there for a reason. I'm not surprised your ROM broke.

 

Except when the line is a 0-length branch.

 

If the line branched to nothing, would it not make more sense to put an rts command there?

 

I did something to the Tails Monitor code, but messed up and upon attempting to fix it, messed up. It still built but wouldnt get past the title card of EHZ1.


I restarted and edited a different moniter and changed the Star Poles (that's what the bra code was from, I had meant to delete that for it to work, but only deleted one line.)


So it's all fixed now.

 

Granted, but for that to occur it'd have to be part of custom code or a code alteration focussed around it. What I meant was that an offending lines found away from unaltered code shouldn't be deleted to fix the errors.
