Fire Starter, you say. Tell me a bit more about that.
That's ironic considering FirestARTer's MIDI box.
I'll put FLCL on my must watch list!

It could either be implemented as a simple puzzle game with a reduced rule set, or a more complex strategy game in the style of Advance Wars and a more complex ruleset, possibly with multiplayer support. Thanks!
I suppose that's what your avatar is?

Hello Smendrick! (Gosh, I love the sound of that)
If you haven't yet, check out my GB music guide. (Shamelessly self promoting as always )
As for modding GB's... Maybe I should make a section for hardware stuff.
Hmm. It's bedtime for my part.

Ive also heard about several other carts that im really interested in, although ive never seen them done, such as muddy gb, and other trackers put on a 32mb cart all in one.

You can get a lot of ROMs from Herbert Weixelbaum's Game Boy music links page.

My name is also will, I develop mostly in C# (because of my school projects) but soon hope to venture into more entertaining projects. I specialize in DBA and GUI development, I use lot's of SQL and as stated C# and visual basic.
At home I use PERL,PHP and MYSQL.

My current goals are getting some Oracle certifications and becoming more fluent in Java and OOP in general : )

Oh yeah, and as a day job I fix computers mostly via remote access (pcanywhere). It's cool because these computers are all connected to the hospitals main HIS (admission system) so through the wonders of HL7 translation I get to handle these massive DB's from super famous hospitals from around the world like the MAYO clinic and such.
Do not be fooled, the DBA work is pretty simple 1 line 'SELECT *' stuff, but none the less still pretty neat. RAS'ing into another PC via hardware modem is pretty funny (but SLOW!!!!!)

Found a better screenshot!



From what the character in the series was doing while playing, it looks like you just use a d-pad to move and another button to set stuff on fire. Pretty simple game play.

Hey there, I'm IIMarckus. Came here because I'm subscribed to the LSDJ mailing list. I'm not a chiptuner, but I've done some ROM hacking and thus have a little experience in GB programming.

Hey, I'm Awol. People from 8bc know me as Grey_and_Purple (I'm trying to get my name changed to Awol over there too). I don't have any previous programming or development experience, but I am teaching myself C from a book I have. My interest in this stems from my interest in chiptunes. Right now I am using LSDJ, but I have been inspired by Pixelh8 to try and make some of my own music software for the Game Boy. I doubt that my dream application is even possible, but it would be cool to make a Game Boy into a kind of effects pedal that you can plug a guitar or some other instrument into and have a chiptune sound come out of it, so you could control the song live rather than tracking.

EDIT: I also want to try some hardware mods, like pro sound, internal LED, backlight, etc.

EDIT2: Also, thanks for making this place! It looks great so far, I'm sure it'll be really helpful, and it seems like it's starting up fast!

Hi all the way from denmark. Fantastisk forum, something I have look for. Hope to se good thinks come out of this:)

My Name is Thomas I collect alot of Game boy, GBP, GBC, GBA, GBM. I have done a little hardware modding like build a GBA SP into a original Game boy, and adjusable sun for the boktai games. But no more than that.
I have allways liked to program. and especially for det gameboy. But all the times i have tryed to lean it myself, I have hit rock botton. I just don't understand it.

Now that Im here:) Does enyone know a good place to buy a card for the original gameboy

Hello!

I am called Foona (in some forums im called Jngaelin) and i live in Sweden.
I am a, mucisian, artist. producer and a  DIY electronics knuckle head.
When it comes to DIY electronics i make mostly stuff for my studio, musical purpuoses mostly.

In my possesion i have a GB, a GBC and a GBA SP (Triforce version).
Though I have no knowledge what so ever about programming a GB,
i've have recently learned a bit about PIC programming but nothing usefull yet.
Couldn't even imagine that being even usefull for BG aplications..

I want to be able to use my GB (well actually all of my Nintendo handhelds)
in my studio as a musical instrument(s).
Now I have seen stuff like nanoloop and such, but i wish there was more
So i come here to learn from you, and mabye spur the innovation of harware mod options.

Dream GB App: doesen't exist yet. I'll know what it is when i see it..

PS*
I am also a member of the Swedish Gameboy.nu forum.
Link: http://www.gameboy.nu

Last year i made a contribution to that forum and the GB world.
It's a battery exchange guide.
The language is in Swedish though, but the pictures speak for them selves.
