NOTES:
- I also suggest you take a look at GBATek (http://nocash.emubase.de/gbatek.htm) for technical info on the GBA & NDS
- Also check out the PDF cheat sheet (http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.qrc0001l/QRC0001_UAL.pdf) for a quick guide to the ARM instruction set
- For Windows XP I recommend the Command Line Here (http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/CmdHerePowertoySetup.exe) tool so you can right click in a folder to open the command prompt for compiling.
