Hi

I see in cartData.c that the program was generated with TurboAss, which 
exist only under Atari IIRC.
Using the attached patch, it's possible to compile it with vasm which is 
available for any OS (sources are available).

The binary file corresponding to cart_asm.s can then be assembled with :

vasmm68k_mot -devpac -showopt -o cart_asm.bin -Fbin cart_asm.s

As noted, hexdump will convert to some text data :

hexdump -v -e ' 16/1 "0x%02x," "\n" ' cart_asm.bin > cart_asm.txt

Then one just needs to add a C header to cart_asm.txt + manually edit 
the last line to remove empty 0x and you can create a similar cartData.c 
as the one shipped today with Hatari.

Thomas, what do you think ? Maybe we should remove the turboass specific 
directives and use devpac ones compatibles with vasm ?

It might even be possible to create a CMake rule for all of this.
