Odd cuz even I can use it easily. |

I took a look at the FAQ, and even with all my Windoze experience, my head started spinning after a few lines.  |

I agree that making sofrware isn't specifically easy, but...
A) I have no money. Well I do, but I'm saving for something and would like to avoid spending at all costs.
B) Buying things over the Internet is impossible without a credit card.  I refuse to get one, and I'm not old enough anyway.
C) Buying software's just not something I can bring myself to do.
As for ASM, if I knew it, I'd gladly use it. In fact, I probably will later once I learn more. At the moment though, I have absolutely no knowledge of this particular CPU. I'll try what you mentioned (they never made it clear exactly what the differences were, at least not that I could see), thanks for the tip.  |

HyperHacker, just use HAM, and don't use the ham_Init() function, or any of the ham functions for that matter. You'll need to use your own header files to define registers, system calls, interrupts, etc... But that's a small price to pay for such an excellent IDE, and you'll be able to use sources that weren't made for ham, without the annoying intro which screws up DMA too  |

i don't think it's that unfair at all. i'm sure it took a lot of time and effort into creating that C compiler.
if you really don't like paying, whats so bad about doing it the good old fashioned way in strait ASM? or creating your own compiler? |

It's not fully free. 
29 US$ "only" 
But it seems that some things are free in the program. |

I've poked around in Visual HAM (http://www.ngine.de/site/index.php), seems fine. |

So many out there, and they all have the same problems:
-They expect me to pay to write free software. Ha!
-They're compressed with some format nobody uses and the only decompressor is a POS program that screws up all the files and is shareware.
-They're add-ons for something I don't have.
-By the time you actually get them working (changing paths, messing with compiler options, installing crap nobody's ever heard of) you could have done the entire program in ASM with a hex editor.
So can anyone tell me where I can find a good C compiler for GBA? Please don't say devrs.com, I tried them all.  |
