I'm doing some hobby GB-Z80 developing using RGBDS, and I have some useful lib code that I've written during the last years, and also a relatively good way of compiling things. And I've been thinking about writing article about it, and/or release a devkit or something like that, including libraries and other things. So, I'm asking you guys, are there any GB-Z80 developers still around today? Would there be any interest in something like this still at this date?
well I've been thinking of atleast trying some Dot Matrix Game (just love that name ) coding as I have the hardware for it.. but it just havn't happend as of yet.. so I would definitely read the articles. if not for coding some application/game, atleast for learning something new
Go ahead, do it! You might not think anyone else is interested right now, but there might be in the future. I've encountered the same thing with N64 development - I know of 2 other people who have coded for it in the past few years, besides myself. I'm trying my best to put together a compilation of the resources I've found, etc. You might be making it possible for someone later to become interested and start programming for the DMG. You will be respected for your efforts.
Yeah, but still, my time is sort-of lacking, and I want to know that there's at least some sort of interest, someone who'll hang around my neck and ask motivate me to post more. Well, now I know there are at least two people potentially interested. I'll take that into consideration.
Just do it one piece at a time, with patience and constantly. You know, there's still YOUR interest in seeing it finished!
There will be people interested on it, of course. These pioneer endeavors are the ones named classics years after... just like yoshi with his snes docs, marat fayzullin with nes docs... get to it, man. At leat I will be very thankful
Hi! I would be extremely interested in this as well. In fact I am working on a simple NES game, and maybe it will be suitable for the original GameBoy as well (I don't know as I have no knowledge of the technical details of the original GB currently. Documentation on how to use the Game Link cable would be a requirement in this case, as the game would definitely be 2-player only). So I truly hope you'll find time and motiviation for it
