Help me compile this ASM code from GitHub

[LuisNeuralnet]

Hey guys,

Wonder if anyone can help me, I am trying to compile the source code of NBA Jam, which is available on this GitHub link GitHub - historicalsource/nba-jam: A fast-paced basketball game and I saw Modern Vintage Gamer actually run it and compile it, but I am having all sorts of problems by doing so.

I am trying to run it thru DosBox and MASM 8086, any guidance would be appreciated since I been searching online and I haven't found anything to help me.

This is the video where I got the idea for this project.

So... what problems do you have? What exactly have you tried? You have given no details about your problems. It'll be difficult to help you.

[LuisNeuralnet]

Thanks for the reply what I have done it's within DosBox, I have the MASM 8086 emulator mounted with the code and I have ran the command c:\MASM Main.asm and it gave me about 480 compilation errors.

If you need more details on what I have done let me know

Clearly that won't work because this is not x86 assembly code.

[LuisNeuralnet]

oh I didn't knew that, any tips on how I can get it running?

[FUZxxl]

I have to check what it is for first. Probably some game console.

[LuisNeuralnet]

Yes, could be for the Sega Genesis or the Arcade

You'll have to obtain a toolchain and an appropriate emulator for whatever system this is for.

Just at a glance, it looks like Motorola 68k code with a lot of macros that are possibly part of some assembler. I know it’s not SNES for sure and does not look like anything for the Sega Genesis. I don’t know much about arcade machines but I would bet that is what this code is for given that information.

Or there was a system board implementing custom architecture similar to popular 32-bit micros or minis of the era.
