I have a feeling there's not enough room in the ROM, but I would love it if I could use this for the credits music in Super #GameBoy 2: #Vaporwave Edition. This is from Torchkas, the same person who gave us the incredible #VLDC 9 "abstract map" tune. Recorded from real #SNES hardware.

This is my first time participating in the Art Advent Calendar so I thought it would be a good idea to start with my first Gameboy trichrome. It's not exactly successful but I was so proud of this at the time. #ArtAdventCalendar #Gameboy #Trichrome #1990sCameraChallenge

Pokemon Trading Card Game [Pokemon Card GB] (ポケモンカードＧＢ) [DMG-ACXJ-JPN] Manual now available: https://archive.org/details/pokemon-trading-card-game-jpn-manual
Pretty cool, I like manuals that use things like comics and such to explain things. It's fun and colorful, a lost art really. I think this and Game Boy Wars 2 are the only games I can think off the top of my head that do this, but I'm sure there is more out there. I wonder if Comix Zone does this? It would be very fitting.
I do actually own a copy of Game Boy Wars 2, so I'll get around to scanning that at some point as well.

When I was 11, I had an emergency appendectomy. While I was recovering, my dad gave me a #GameBoy Color, which had _just_ come out, and was _the_ coolest gadget. This year, I pulled it out of storage and it was ruined. The batteries had exploded and corroded everything. Well for my birthday this year, my dad gave me _another_ Game Boy Color, specifically to harvest the parts from and fix mine. Here it is! My childhood Game Boy Color running #Zelda Link’s Awakening, my favorite childhood game.

And here is the “enhanced” #gameboy color version of Quarth called Block Game. I’m gonna track down a physical cart of this one. Just so many special memories. #retrogaming
Wooooooow I just had a monster nostalgia bomb. I was checking out the games in the Konami Collection Vol 2 for #gameboy color when I came across “Block Game”. This was actually #Quarth, a game I played a LOT of on my original DMG back in like 1989-90 or so. The music and the graphics made me feel like a little kid again. Amazing. Here it is on my resto/mod DMG in its original form. #retrogaming
Block game happened to be the name of a game Konami released back in like 1979 I believe.

Finally picked up the parts to resto/mod one of my 2 #Gameboy Colors. I think this is the goat for Gameboy games. As always, I get all my parts from Heldheld Legend. This particular GBC got new capacitors, new power board, new speaker, buttons, shell and new screen. Screen is a little bigger than the stock one. I’m a sucker for translucent shells but the classic grey called to me haha. Backlit GBC logo can be different colors too. #retrogaming

Errr, it seems I've created something akin to my own unit test framework. In assembly. For the Nintendo Gameboy.
It's literally just a Gameboy ROM running in an emulator, but it's purpose is only to share some functions with my main game and put tick boxes on the screen if calling the functions gives expected results.
(The "why" in a reply toot...)

And now for something slightly different:
I just finished Wendy: Every Witch Way. The game is more known for being somewhat rare rather than its gameplay. It's a short (1 to 2 hours) platformer feature invertible gravity. Very easy overall. What's standing out is the main character with cute and upbeat sprite animations. Perfect for taking a short break from bigger games/things.
I started doing some reviews of licensed and homebrew #gameboy games on backloggd if anyone is keen to follow my journey.
It's a more casual personal approach than a proper review service. But I'll be sharing my thoughts on Licensed Nintendo GB games and commercial homebrew GB games as I play them casually.

This week I took some time to get my old Gameboy Zero up and running again. Inside is a Raspberry Pi Zero and a small RP2040 board powering the Neopixel strip that illuminates the case while charging. I also designed and 3d printed a custom stand so I can display it without falling over every three seconds!
#raspberrypi #rgb #led #neopixel #gameboy #retrogaming #3dprinting @Raspberry_Pi
Success with assembly programming! I wrote a tool that converts a PNG to a byte sequence the #GameBoy understands correctly as tile data; then modified the BG tile loading sequence to overflow to the shared memory to fit my artwork. Spaghetti code, sure, but I wrote every byte of it myself 😊

For a while now, I have been concerned about a trend I see surrounding the public discussion of homebrew titles within the #gameboy scene. This problem is a serious lack of critical reviews of commercial GB homebrew titles.
To address this, I have written a Letter to the GB Community discussing why I think this is the case and why I think this is a serious issue for the overall health of the Game Boy community moving forward.

Who wants to make #gameboy platformer games with slopes?
I sure do!
I also want to see it become a feature of #GBStudio that is easily utilized by devs of all skill levels.
So, I'm putting out a $200USD bounty on a GBS slopes system!
Once developed, We can share the system freely and I will write a detailed tutorial article on how to implement the system.

I've now completed this simple Arkanoid/Breakout clone from this Gameboy assembly tutorial. [https://gbdev.io/gb-asm-tutorial/part2/getting-started.html]
Now I'm torn between starting the next tutorial (which I've intially found harder to understand) or learning to code Gameboy in C.
Either way, this tutorial was great to understand what the Gameboy CPU is doing and why some of its limitations and capabilities exist.

New instance, new #introduction :)
Hi all! I'm Jonne from Janakkala, Finland. On the internet I go mostly by the alias "laamaa".
I like to make #chiptune / #demoscene / #VGM influenced music with trackers and #synthesizers as a hobby and I post stuff mostly related to that. I like handheld music devices like the #m8tracker and #gameboy with #LSDJ a lot.
You can find my releases from Bandcamp (https://laamaa.bandcamp.com)
I'm interested in #art, #audio, #musicproduction and #gamedev among other things. Looking forward to see familiar and new faces here, feel free to ask anything!
Hey! Did you know I once put #Doom and #gameboy (playable!) on credit card machines? Or ported Wordle to #PalmOS ? I've been plumbing all sorts of #tech into all sorts of other tech professionally for almost a decade now (unprofesionally for 16 years!) with an intimate knowledge of the inner workings of computers and low-level embedded code. I can also do killer hand-crafted #webdesign without relying on platforms or frameworks! And I can draw you in #pixelart for a modest price!
I'm currently 99% unemployable due to being legally in Brazil and physically in the UK. I've been without a stable income for 2 years now and I desperately need something my way. If you know of any commission or contract work that won't bug me with where I am geographically, please let me know!

there's a small bug, but too tired to fix that now...
the screen transition already feels better. need to iterate over 360 tiles, so I would be happy to get it close to 10 frames...
then I might load the next room in chunks in the leftover processing time as you're walking towards it and make it feel instant. 🤯
