For console ROMs I'm used to take my fonts and palettes from binary files.
I always used assembler in these kind of projects.
Now I'm having a look at XGCC. As I see in some demos, all data like fonts, tiles, palette,.. must be defined as if it was to be assembled, not in pure binary format.
and with a .globl directive on top, followed by a label.
I suppose the globl is to be able tu import from another C file using the extern directive. Am I right??
Ok, so, is there a way of using pure binay files for tile data and so??
This is good because you can make tiles using some tile editor like Tile Molester, and then just use it, not need of convert it to dc.w, dc.l,... and so on. Hope I explained myself...
An last question.. can you use ASM inside C code??
For example, in you main.C, inside a function, you want to do some ASM. Is it possible??
Thank you!

Code:
dc.w 0x000
dc.w 0xfffand with a .globl directive on top, followed by a label.
