Then download Cygwin: setup-x86_64.exe for 64-bit Windows, setup-x86.exe for 32-bit.

Run the Cygwin setup and leave the default settings. At "Select Packages", set the view to "Full" and choose to install the following:

• make

• libpng-devel

In the Cygwin terminal, enter these commands:

export DEVKITPRO=/cygdrive/c/devkitpro
echo export DEVKITPRO=$DEVKITPRO >> ~/.bashrc
export DEVKITARM=$DEVKITPRO/devkitARM
echo export DEVKITARM=$DEVKITARM >> ~/.bashrc

git clone https://github.com/rmstock/GBA-Template
cd GBA-Template

Install a GBA emulator of your choice on a target system, or flash to a cart if you have one.

Run the game!
