Have you ever wanted to make a Gameboy game? Do you yearn for the days of yore when men were men and graphics code wrote directly to video memory? Have you ever wanted to tell a DMA controller who’s boss? Then c’mon down to my Gameboy programming classes! You’ll learn that, armed only with a laptop, an emulator, and some GNU tools you too can hack the Gameboy with the best of ’em. Two sessions, two hours, too awesome!

ConstyXIV: Good to know on the DS incompatibility. This will be more the classic GB and GBC level of code. All the development will be done in a PC emulator so a gameboy isn’t strictly required.
