Awesome! Is that with a GBA cart? If so, how did you make it?
ReplyDeleteI have a gameboy (original) development blog and will have a website up in a day or so. I would love to link this on my site...
Cool, glad you liked it. No, I used a flash cart, the EZ-Flash IV which I bought from DealExtreme. I don't see them on the site anymore. It's not the greatest solution but it works. I would be interested in learning to make GBA carts.
ReplyDeleteFeel free to link to this. Please send links to your blog and website when you get it up.
Cheers,
Kris
GBA carts are annoying to make mainly because you have to define how many space 2^n MB, you want to use. Sounds and everything else goes in certain places and it always ends up turning into binary data.
ReplyDeleteHey--I found this product: http://www.topxgames.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=25752
ReplyDeleteI bought one about a week ago, so it should be here soon. At first, I wasn't sure whether it was a legitimate site, but it is McAfee approved. I will post again if it comes.
I think that it's only $12 because it is only 128mb memory. If you think--the Flash 2 Advance 512 mb card is $50, it is 4x the memory capacity. 4x12 is 48, so it's actually very reasonably priced.
