Gameboy Development Forum

Im John, from Newyork. i have only afew months of C\C++ experience.
i always wanted to program for the Nintendo Gameboy versions, (GBC,
GBA, etc). i passed the stages of sprites but still working on it, im 18 yrs.
i know Pascal, BASIC, and Java. (plus C and C++).

Hello World!

After scouring the web for GB programming sites, I finally stumbled upon the download section of this site.  From there I saw the link to the forums, and here I am.  I've been programming for several years now, and I've finally accumulated enough knowledge to do what got me programming in the first place: making something that I could play on a handheld.

Let's see; what else?  Hrm, I hate skiddies who just want to make games without caring about how everything works, I'm a Linux enthusiast, and I dream in code.  Currently, I'm trying to learn z80 asm.  Besides that, there's not much else.

Hi!
My name's Dre, in other GB\C forums I'm known more commonly as 80C.
I'm a hacker mainly of Classic Game Boy Games (GB\C).
I just entered the asm a month ago, I still have a lot to learn but I'm trying to figure it and slowly I'm starting understand it, not so much but it's already something.
Mainly I hack the first 2 generations of pokemon, then I will be less busy I'll try to figure out if I can hack something also on Croc 1 and do some research about it.

NicklausW I know you from the ds game maker forum.  For some reason they never let me post on there...  I tried talking about the wii development kit that never came out...

hello i program in c and i am currently using the gbdk to make a programming language that will run and be interpreted on the gameboy
i am created a tic tac toe game and a simple paint program and so far thats about it
my dream gameboy program would be (if i work out how gb graphics work)
to make a 2d zelda style game

Oh hi I didn't see that this was a thing. My name is Isaac, but I go by Crona on the internet. I only started getting in to code seriously this year, but It comes very naturally to me. I love the Gameboy because its not just about the best graphics and there is more than just FPSs on it unlike all the new consoles. My first consoles where the N64 and the Gameboy which I got when I was like 5, and it always amazed me how they were able to fit an experience into a little piece of plastic. Beside video games I love anime, my favorites being Soul Eater, and Noragami.

Hey Welcome back RainbowReich.  I hope it come back to you quicky (meaning programming for gameboy)

I'm Henry (surname initials FT, a boy, and one who likes wolves. See? wolfboyft!), from London.

I'm known on the internet as wolfboyft, and only have 4 ways of saying my username that I can accept: WOLFBOYFT, (only when yer angry) wolf, F.T., and wolfboyft. Ignore the usage of capital letters at the starts of sentences etc. (BTW, one good way of telling if a community is good or not, is to see if they bother to stop the capital letters in my username/see if they take the piss outta it or not!)
Just to tell you all.

Anyway! About why I joined this forum.

I recently thought about programming for the gameboy...

And then decided to make my own game and sell it in real cartridges/LSDJ-style logins-for-downloads.

So I've come here to ask lots of questions and get support in my game-creation!

Hope to see you lot around later!

Bye.

Hi people ! I'm Vincent. I'm currently studying art in France and I've got a HND in electronic.
Last week, I was thinking of a new project with a... game boy ! I've never program on it before but I have few knowledge of C so I've tried some stuff, searched for tools and finally... I end up here !
Voila ! I hope that you all will inspire me !

(sorry if for the bad english!)

Hi everybody!

My name is Árni Geir (Arni, A with a comma on top)
and I'm an Electronic Engineer. I studied in Reykjavík, Iceland. I live in Seyðisfjörður (Seydisfjordur).
I make music using my beloved GameBoys and all kinds of instruments. Mainly LSDJ

I teach guitar in the music school in Seydisfjordur, best job ever!
Not much to do for an Electronic Engineer in a population of 610 people

I don't drink and I don't smoke. Been sober two years now. But I'm a proud atheist so I don't
go to those crazy AA meetings hahahahah That is a cult in denial, that's for sure!

I would love to know something about programming the GameBoy. My systers son has this
great Idea for a game and I would like to try programming it for him (kind of like pokémon).
Don't know where to start.
It's been a while since I was programming in C/C++ and I was usually stoned so it didn't
really stick, if you know what I mean...

I read about this forum when i bought the ALTANE gadget and I am having trouble with my
cartridge so here I am

Cheers
Arni Geir (Casette)

oh yeah and here are my tunes, if you're interested: https://soundcloud.com/rni-geir-l-russon

You might know me from other sites like board2, for example.

I'm Termingamer. The machine that comes back to boards.

Basically I registered because I want to code an NES/GB/SGB/GBC emulator in C++, and I'll probably find the GB documentation helpful here. Also, this is my way of learning C++ more by coding something I'll be updating a lot. Lol, I don't know any of it, but I'm going to build this program.

Hello!

Long story short:
Was developing a game for Wii U strictly based on Gameboy Color specs. Made a graphics engine that mimics the CGB's PPU. Then thought, "what the heck, I'll just learn the real thing."

So now I'm here. Learning RGBDS to make a game with the intention of porting it to Wii U or whatever this NX thing is. And I *MIGHT* make a new and improved GBDK to help me port some code over. I'll make sure you all know if that happens.

Nice to meet you! Thanks for having me
