Should have known!

I made a script to extract a list of ROMs in GoodGBX that qualify for an automatic palette swap. The qualifications in the GBC "BIOS" is as follows: The ROM can't be listed as GBC compatible, in which case it obviously has to handle it own palette settings. (D'uh!) The ROM must be listed a...

I have this one and wish the Game Boy Pocket could handle it

Didn't your Li-ion mod solve that problem?

Ah yes, sorry. Well, it would still be possible if there was just a free memory area anywhere where the menu code could be put. But that certainly requires both a custom patcher and changes in the menu code. (Not just maybe as in the example above.)

The SmartCard uses the first 32kb of FlashROM to store the menu program. This is why you can't have multiple games that add up to 32 megabits on a page. But as tepples suggested, it is quite possible you could trim a larger ROM that has empty space at the end. I have not personally tested it. I sus...

This would be neat to see implemented to the Super Game Boy. That would be more complicated than on a DMG since the same lines are also used for communicating with the SNES CPU. Sending commands to the SD card might also trigger SGB commands. There are various things you could do to prevent that, b...

See above. It's not about being low value, it's about being off-topic. Well, no, because...

The technical PC stuff doesn't get mixed with chat about the latest celebrity gossip.

Checked archive.org, no luck. Closest I got was this. A couple of screenshots, but the neither the source nor the ROM have been archived.

Frickin' redirects all over the place.

Paper Boy for Apple II had to work with the audio limitation and Crazy Bus is literally just random notes as far as I can tell. The 1942 music seems to just emulate a snare drum and a whistle. What else do you expect in a military march? I would nominate Super Mario 3 Special for the GBC. Hard mode:...

I'd show more love for the terms boot ROM/bootstrap/boot loader. For example, I consider the Gameboy startup program to be a boot ROM, not a BIOS as some people call it.

Minor broken/irrelevant link.

Is there any requirement for how long the strobes must be compared to the chip's own clock frequency?

Ok can someone please define how you could write a game without writing an engine ? I think what is meant by engine here is modularity and separation of code and data. Writing something that is an engine, would, at the extreme end, means that you could affect every aspect of the gameplay without to...

I think this is a case of learning to walk before you can run.
