Does this work on original hardware? I tried it on my DMG Gameboy but it didn't go past the boot screen with the Nintendo logo

ah it may require GBC, I only tested on original GBC hardware, and the game does make use of the color palette features of the GBC.


hmm it runs fine on my pocket in forced GB mode through my everdrive, what flashcart are you using? gb-studio generates roms that need MBC5 support in the flashcart

yeah, I think maybe I bumped my cartridge and it got stuck there because I tried again and it works. Great game! I'd love more stuff like this on the Gameboy because there isn't anything else like this game lol. I just wish there was a bit more content because it's not really that replayable unless I've missed something

I have some plans for something larger, but that starts getting outside what gb-studio can handle. native gb/gbc development is quite complicated compared to later handhelds, imo this is reflected in the huge surge in games that later came out for the gba and its simpler memory architecture.

yeah, I've done some programming on RGBDS assembly for the Gameboy but only a few demos and it definitely is hard!
