Orange Juice Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 So, I've been trying to experiment with some rom hacking programs recently, primarily GBAGE and Event Assembler. I read in Nintenlord's resource thread that I would need Mono to run some of these programs on a non-windows computer (I use a mac). So, I downloaded Mono, and when I use it to start GBAGE up from Terminal, it works perfectly normally. That is, at first. Instead, as soon as I go to the drop-down 'file' menu and click Open Rom, two things happen simultaneously: 1. GBAGE crashes. 2. A bunch of text gets vomited up in Terminal. Event Assembler seems a bit better, except that the exact same thing happens, only later when I click Disassemble after loading a rom and a .txt file. I've tried redownloading, and I end up with the same problem. Any idea what might be causing this? It's probably just some stupid mistake that I made at some point during the installation process, but I can't seem to pinpoint where that mistake was made. Thanks in advance.

CT075 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 it's probably because the applications use some kind of form control that doesn't exist in mono not entirely sure how to fix it unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Juice Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Oh, really? That's a bit disappointing, but alright. Are there any alternative programs that might work instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
