There is nothing amazingly special about the GB/GBC that no other console saw or would see for years afterwards. Short version is they do much as they say and point the way to parts of the ROM (or section) or memory where things are located, if you change where something is located (or make it bigger or smaller, or want to and thus need to move to increase size available) then you need to change the pointer to reflect this. I am not sure what the kids are using for a debugger these days (I always liked BGB debugger but there might be better options).Īfter that it is mostly the same as everything else - tile editors, relative search, some very light compression possibly, sound formats can be custom but are not always, general approaches to level formats.Īs mentioned pointers are a thing you will want to know as the languages you have already don't have or don't place any real emphasis on the concept (compared to C family stuff).

Improper Bankswitch Emulation in the cart I can only think of three reasons why these games would not work:ġ. Pokemon Red/Blue (garbled 'Ed' tile in name select screen) Spiderman and the X-Men: Arcade's Revenge (see BF) Game & Watch Gallery (wrong music, graphical garbage, resetting)Īsteroids & Missile Command (mostly blank screen, random lines) Who Framed Roger Rabbit (garbled copyright screen, resets) I have an EMS 64 GB Smart Card USB, and while almost all Gameboy & Gameboy Color games work in it, there are a few that do not.
