Game Boy Advance playground
This repostiory is my sandbox for playing with GBA.
I'm doing it as much from scratch as I can because it is more intersting this way.
I'm also doing it in crystal for the same reason.
I am using this very cool guide TONC
and the GBA hardware specs from there: GBATEK.
The startup file are mostly taken from there.
Dependencies
They should be available on every sane linux distro packages manager:
You migh also want a GBA emulator, I use mgba.
As I write this, the rom work as expected in mgba but not in mgba-qt, which is weird.
Run shards
to install crystal development dependencies.
Usage
Just make
it.
Immediate TODO:
- [ ] Basic string display system
- [ ] Better assets handling
- [ ] Maybe: find a way to reduce clutter without section-gcing
__crystal_main
