Run Your First ROM

What you are about to achieve

Build examples/clearscreen/game.z64 and see a solid blue screen in your emulator.

Expected result

A solid blue screen rendered by the first ROM

Minimal commands

chmod +x ./build_examples.sh
./build_examples.sh

Open examples/clearscreen/game.z64 after the build.

What changed

You did not write game code yet. You proved that your toolchain can build the repository examples into ROMs, starting from examples/clearscreen/main.go.

Why it matters

This is the fastest confirmation that your machine can produce working N64 output before you start editing code.

If this failed

Go to Installation and work through the toolchain setup notes first.

Next step

Go to Change One Thing.
