A Newbie obsessed with the GameBoy
Posted: Mon Nov 18, 2019 2:26 am
Hi Keith and everyone,I am mainly interested in assembly coding due to my fascination with the Dot Matrix Game Boy. I found out about Chiptune with people using music trackers on Game Boys such as LSDJ and Nanoloop. (Of course, I know that chiptune and game soundtracks are different due to cartridge storage, use of mixers, and the number of Game Boys in use.) In current research, I am fascinated with the surprising variety of sounds, graphics, and game play genres, despite the limitations, on the Game Boy. As a youth, I played Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow. I also played Game and Watch Gallery 2 and Frogger. I am also fascinated with accessories like the Super Game Boy for the SNES and the Game Boy Player on GameCube. I like how Game Boy games can play on the GBC and GB advanced. I find it interesting that some Game Boy Color cartridges can work on the Game Boy with the Green Scale graphics.
To be honest, I have very little experience in programming code. However, I have read tutorials on assembly for the Game Boy. I also watched your entire Game Boy playlist on YouTube, which I plan to re-watch and delve deeper into. I also watched the entire Ultimate Game Boy Talk. Before starting to program, I would probably need to delve into the basics of programming by researching through web search engines like Google. (However, if it is ok, could you suggest some basic resources to check out;)? ) I would like to eventually develop my skills to make a decent original Game Boy compatible game and push the boundaries of the hardware to its limits.
Thanks Keith for this resource.
