friend.camp/@aparrish made #gameboy on backplane to break out every pin of DMG CPU, can use interface cards with peripherals, or plug direct to address/data bus

Second photo is a pico 2 converting game boy video out to ascii (to send over serial for debug)

close up, top down view: there's a large-ish PCB with rectangular sockets in a row, and smaller PCBs plugged into those sockets at a right angle. on separate cards, there are some blinky lights, buttons, game boy serial ports, SRAM, and a Game Boy CPU same device as in the other photo, but pictured here beneath a computer screen, with an ASCII visualization of the Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening title screen in a terminal window

Interview (in french) with #gameboy dev User0x7f who made the games G-Zero, Genesis, Gun Ship, Black Castle

#gbdev #gbdk #retrogaming #retrodev #indiedev
picture of game covers gzero, gunship, genesis II, gunship dx, g-zero, genesis, black castle and text: Hello friends, I was lucky enough to talk to Andreas, alias User0x7f, game programmer on game boy, and it can be said that the list is rich, because for 3-4 years it's been quite productive. Black Castle, a game in the spirit of Fortess of Fear, Genesis 1 and 2, two shoot em up, also Gun Ship, a rail shooter at the Ikari Warriors and finally G-zero World GP, nothing more than an F-zero on game boy.
