Installing gvasm

We will use the gvasm assembler in order to convert assembly code into GBA ROM files.

You can download the latest release of the gvasm assembler from the GitHub page:

Releases · velipso/gvasmGitHub

At the time of writing, the latest version is v2.3.0.

After installing gvasm, you can verify that it installed correctly by running the internal test suite:

gvasm itest

If everything worked correctly, you should see hundreds of tests pass:

...
pass     [409] memory.iwram-overflow
pass     [410] memory.ewram-no-overflow
pass     [411] memory.ewram-overflow
-------------------------------
Skipped: 0
Passed:  412
Failed:  0

All good!
