How to build / compile SA1?

[ferrannl]

As the title says...
I'm on Debian and managed to get advance 2 working using the instructions in install.md
Run make sdl
sa2.sdl will be created
Launch the game from the terminal with ./sa2.sdl

Works great, awesome work! Now how do I compile my copy of sonic advance 1?
I couldn´t find this anywhere in the install.md

Thanks!

Please only do that if you want to help out matching and/or documenting code, otherwise it's way less ready than even SA2 is, and not the most enjoyable experience.

Just specify GAME_NAME=sa1 in the make command.
Make sure the baserom you have matches the one listed in the ReadMe file. :)

Easiest would be to join the Discord if you have trouble, because of all the troubleshooting other people have done with common issues, if you encounter trouble.

@JaceCear I was just about to share my experience with the SA1 port. and how many things that just aren't working correctly yet, but then you posted your comment.

Yeah, we probably know most of it! 😋
