Im wondering if that is even possible though
A LD to see who can Create the best Game Boy Game from scratch no rom base to Hack from code it completely from scratch
I am thinking of hosting one of these If I can find the correct tools to create them with
Wow that was a quick find: although its not game boy
Its for Game Boy Advance
http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitadv/
Even More better
game boy development kit
http://gbdk.sourceforge.net/
However those both use C to develop the games so Maybe see who can create the Best R*M Hack (Patch files only)
I started a gameboy game for LD23 but due to real life responsiblities never finished it, here was what I got in about 5 or 6 hours
dl.dropbox.com/u/8258428/ld23.gb
basically, sign me up.
I used GBDK and wrote the game from scratch, spent most of that time working on the tiles for the title screen than coding
wow nice game I had a little Play with it On the Visual Boy Advance me and you should develop a Game Boy Game together
I had this really awesome idea but I am extremely shitty at C
EDIT: I Beat the game it was very easy
It was quite fun
Hi,
i developed 3-5 years on the gba/nds. They are great console to play with and you can find many emulators.
If i remember right you can easily setup http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/ to write something for your gba/nds. gba and nds have a lot more cool stuff than the GB && i can’t remember if you can also deploy on the Game boy with the devkitpro. Anyway, hope this help && hope to see some hard-dev post a game for this platform in the future.
Bye
If you want to develop for the original Gameboy (in Assembly), there is a great and pratical lecture from the Wichita State University (http://cratel.wichita.edu/cratel/ECE238Spr08) on it. I used it to learn the platform and really liked it.
If you want to run the compiler, emulator, etc on the Mac, I wrote a quick post about it here: http://38leinad.wordpress.com/2012/03/03/gameboy-development-on-mac-os-x/
We made A Game Boy Advance Game for the Ludum Dare #26, juste Here
Enjoy Everybody
