hello world on sega genesis /megadrive

[humbertomoura]

Hello guys,
I made a hello world code based in Big evil corporation tutorial (https://bigevilcorporation.co.uk/2012/03/23/sega-megadrive-4-hello-world/), a great start tutorial.
I think I understood the code, I made several changes, it runs well in emulators like Gens and others. But when I try to run the code in the Mega Drive (Genesis) Hardware Throught "Everdrive" cartridge, it doesn't run. The screen stays black after the "licenced by Sega tm" words.

I compile my code in two forms:
asm68k /k /p /o ae- main.asm, final.bin >errors.txt, , hello.lst
asm68k /p main.asm,final.bin

The code compiles without error, but no runs on Megadrive 1 JP with everdrive. I tried with SNASM68k too. Same thing. Compiles well, ran on emulator, but everdrive doesn't.

After compile, I also used this two utilities to generate checksum:

gen-cksum.py final.bin
fixheadr.exe final.bin

I don't know what's going wrong, because I compile the Sonic 1 project hack at the same form and runs on mega drive with everdrive well.

I post all the source here:

Thanks for any help, .

I'm not into 68k coding yet but looking at you code I don't see any vblank handling. I mean the part after you feed vdp w/ pattern ids to display your name.
cores.asm and letras.asm contain data only. So apparently it gets executed and result is quite unexpected.

vblank:
jmp vblank

include 'cores.asm'
include 'letras.asm'

That's pretty ugly but should work. Usually you halt cpu there, wait for interrupt, do what should be done and loop again. Or just disable interrupts and handle
it by yourself.
