Gameboy Development Forum

I have seen this tutorial linked quite a bit: https://avivace.ovh/apps/gbdev/salvage/ … ce%5d.html

Be sure to use the search function on the forums for assembly information as there are a few threads like yours with a ton of useful links.

If you still want to develop using C, take a look at gbdk-n. It's an effort to modernize gbdk to work with the latest versions of sdcc (the compiler). If you are on macOS, and have homebrew installed, it's easy to get everything installed. Open the terminal and run:

Code:

 brew install svendahlstrand/tap/gbdk-n

Then create a source file hello.c:

Code:

#include <gb/gb.h>
#include <gb/drawing.h>

int main() {
  gprint("Hello, world!");

  return 0;
}

Finally, compile, link and make ROM:

Code:

gbdk-n-compile.sh hello.c
gbdk-n-link.sh hello.rel -o hello.ihx
gbdk-n-make-rom.sh hello.ihx hello.gb

Now you should have a hello.gb ROM file to fire up in your favorite emulator. I'm using SameBoy.

how I input a C code to tell KIGB to know it's a universal Black Cart - nintendo states that the Black carts are the Gameboy Color Combo based carts that has both Gameboy Mode and Color Mode.

I'm not sure I do have homebrew working or I have it if there was another way to setup the GBDK-N

Got it - it's taking a long time but I'll just let it all go until it's all finished - how I can tell if it's all installed and working?

Update: It's now installed and ready to go now I just need the C programming tutorials to make my own games now!
