There are two main options right now:

1. Download the OpenFPGA core that lets you play GB games, and then put the ROM on the SD card with the core. Google a program called Pocket Updater to make the setup easy.

2. Use an Everdrive or similar flash cart if you have one.

Either will work, but for now method #2 has the advantage because you can make use of display settings that are unavailable in the core (will be coming in the future).

Ah, i see. Yeah, I loaded it on the gb core, but wasn’t getting the color I see in the screenshots for the game. I guess that’s why. Was surprised there wasn’t a .pocket version or .gbc version of the game.

I haven't tried it yet, but isn't there a separate GBC core? Maybe try it in that? I believe there's a core setting to force GBC mode as well.

There is a gbc core, but the game only comes in .gb. Will need to look into forcing gbc mode maybe.

You can load gb games in the gbc core. You just have to navigate to or duplicate the roms. since it starts in its own asset directory.

yep! Just tried this and it worked. Thanks!

From my experience with Pocket and emulation in general, you can also fix this by changing the ROM's file extension from .gb to .gbc

i tried that but its not working in windows 11 for some reason so i might try it in one of my old linux laptops

Weird. I do not have Windows 11 so I don't know how that's different, but do you have your view settings to show file extensions? IIRC, Windows by default turns that off, meaning that if you rename the file and ad ".gbc" it'll instead technically be "[name of game].gbc.gb," which may cause whatever emulator to still read it as a .gb file instead.

As for myself, I tested both the demo and the rev A rom by swapping the extension to .gbc on Windows 10, and it works perfectly with color on my EZ-Flash Jr. flash cart, played on my GBA SP.

there will be a pocket release but i have to test to make sure its working first. i dont have a pocket so i'm having someone else do it. once i know its working properly i'll add it to the downloadable files :)
