Border Crossing: use custom SGB border in any game

Post by tepples »

Border Crossing is a homebrew app to load a custom Super Game Boy border and use it with any Game Boy game.
  1. Run Border Crossing from flash cart
  2. Select border from list
  3. Hot-swap to Game Pak
For details, see README.md.

Click to view a demonstration:
The title screen of Border Crossing, showing a rectangle shaped like a TV and an arrow pointing to an illustration of a Game Pak. A list of borders: Canada, Classic Mac OS, macOS Big Sur, Mexico, Redmond 3.1, Redmond 98, Ross by Yoey, and a cursor moving down to Redmond 3.1. The border changes to a 1991-era desktop computer, and the interior shows "Swap paks now!" and a blinking dot at the lower right. Title "BORDER CROSSING" at the bottom disappears and "BUBBLE GHOST" appears. The screen changes to Bubble Ghost's title screen followed by its gameplay screen
