#gbdk (and #bbstudio) is getting new NES tilemap layouts!

By default we use 1-screen layout for simplicity - but this has scrolling artifacts.

The NES can do better. 2kB VRAM allows H / V layout to limit artifacts.

And cartridges can also provide VRAM for 4-screen layout to remove them completely

Cool tool, and works with BB Studio builds!

Now just have to figure out why the GBC sample project got bumped to 512kB when there only appears to be 16 total banks in the ROM... 🤔

Happy Belated New Year!

...and Happy Belated New BB Studio version!

Still just an alpha, but this new version fixes some crucial usability issues in the first alpha release.

Check out the comment section for full list of fixes!

On top of various bug fixes and usability improvements, BB Studio will soon have a dedicated NES color picker.

So no more of that RGB conversion guesswork!

(...just the inevitable Never-The-Same-Color guesswork from the golden years of gaming ;)

No ducks were harmed in the making of BB Studio! Fortunately the lake has working collision tiles.

GB Studio is an amazing tool for making real Game Boy games.

But what if Big Brother NES wants to play too?

Now there's BB Studio - a hacked version of GB Studio, to run your GBS games on the GB's Big Brother!

NOW YOU'RE PLAYING WITH WALL POWER.
