6a. Checklist to compile





1. Translate the script files in 'word_count\script*.txt'.

   Execute 'word_count\run.bat'.



   This will record the most common strings to 'word_count\stats.txt' and 'word_count\words.txt'.



   These files will be automatically copied:

   - script1.txt ==> 'script_insterter'

   - script2.txt ==> 'script_insterter'

   - words.txt ==> 'substring_formatter'





2. Execute 'substring_formatter\run.bat'.



   This will create static dictionary codes for the compressor.



   These files will be automatically copied:

   - words_final.txt ==> 'script_inserter'

   - dict.txt ==> 'list_creater'





3. Now translate 'list_creater\lists.txt'.

   Please take note of the legend in the file.



   Execute 'list_creater\run.bat'.



   This will create static dictionary codes for the compressor.



   These files will be automatically copied:

   - lists.bin ==> 'rom_insert'

   - words.bin ==> 'rom_insert'



   Open 'list_creater\log2.txt'. Make sure the length fits within $400 bytes (see tech4z).



   Open 'list_creater\log.txt'. Make sure the final table offset fits within $a84 bytes (see tech4z).





4. Open 'asm\vars.asm'.



======================================================



('list_creater\log.txt')    ('asm\vars.asm')



Table 01: Start $0000       #define ITEMS $aba6+$0000 ($0000 --> $0000)

Table 02: Start $0389       #define NAMES $aba6+$0388 ($0388 --> $0389)

Table 03: Start $03A0       #define ENEMY #aba6+$039f ($039f --> $03a0)



======================================================



   Download 'TASM 3.0.1'. Copy 'tasm.exe' and 'tasm80.tab' to 'asm'.



   Execute: 

   - 'asm\t1c.bat'

   - 'asm\t1c_1.bat'

   - 'asm\t1c_2.bat'

   - 'asm\t1c_3.bat'



   This will rewire the dictionary table entry points.



   These files will be automatically copied:

   - t1c.bin ==> 'rom_insert'

   - t1c_1.bin ==> 'rom_insert'

   - t1c_2.bin ==> 'rom_insert'

   - t1c_3.bin ==> 'rom_insert'





5. Execute:

   - 'bitmap_decode\bg.bat'

   - 'bitmap_decode\title.bat'

   - 'bitmap_decode\world.bat'



   This will decode the bitmap graphics.



   These files will be automatically copied:

   - *.bin ==> 'psg_encoder'





6. Edit the 'psg_encoder\font1.bin' and 'psg_encoder\font2.bin' files if needed.



   You must modify each *.tbl in all of the folders if tiles are rearranged.

   And the 'rom_insert\font-nt.bin' which is the 2-byte NT values.





7. Execute:

   - 'psg_encoder\font.bat'

   - 'psg_encoder\title.bat'

   - 'psg_encoder\bg.bat'

   - 'psg_encoder\world.bat'



   This will re-encode the graphics with a stronger compression.



   These files will be automatically copied:

   - *_e.bin ==> 'rom_insert'





8. Translate 'menu_creater\menus.txt' and 'menu_creater\opening.txt'.

   The format is very precise and takes time to learn.

   Some menu changes will require some manual edits to 'rom_insert\list.txt'.



   Execute 'menu_creater\run.bat'.



   This will create the nametable data for the menus.



   These files will be automatically copied:

   - opening.bin ==> 'rom_insert'

   - menus.bin ==> 'rom_insert'

   - menu_list.txt ==> 'rom_insert'



   Open the 'menu_creater\log.txt' and make sure that the last start fits within $B949.





9. Execute 'script_inserter\run.bat'.



   This will create the script text and Huffman trees.



   These files will be automatically copied:

   - script1.bin ==> 'rom_insert'

   - script2.bin ==> 'rom_insert'

   - tree_vector.bin ==> 'rom_insert'

   - script_trees.bin ==> 'rom_insert'

   - script_list.txt ==> 'rom_insert'





10. Copy your Japanese Phantasy Star rom to 'rom_insert\psjapa.sms'.

    Make another copy to 'rom_insert\copy of psjapa.sms'.



    Execute 'rom_insert\run.bat'.



    This will compile the image.



    Now test 'rom_insert\psjapa.sms'.
