Hi! A long, long time ago, I made a conversion of GORF for the Game Boy Advance, using the Dragon BASIC compiler. I'd like to dip back into making games for this great handheld, but there are just a few problems:
1. Dragon BASIC, the version made over twenty years ago, doesn't seem to work on modern computers.
2. Dragon BASIC, the reboot made by a German engineer, is supposed to be more feature-rich, but it's just the source code; you have to compile the whole thing yourself, and I've never had much luck compiling other peoples' programs.

Does anyone have a working, ready to use, Windows compatible copy of this new version of the compiler? I'd love to use it, but the "all assembly required" approach to distributing software never fails to frustrate and annoy me. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
