A place to discuss everything Game Boy. As far as I'm concerned GBA says Game Boy in it so that's fine too.

Game Genie Codes ā Let this be a place for sharing codes for Game Genie/ Game Shark / Action Replay and save state hacks for Game Boy games. Tell your harrowing tales of code creation! Request a code! Maybe somebody will answer... Sometimes I just have more fun hacking these old games than I do playing them. At the time the following code was made, which is coming up on a decade ago now, it was surprising to see that such a popular game as Pokemon did not seem to have a published Game Genie...

Lord of the Rings The Two Towers (GBA) Mechanics Guide. I wrote this back in 2019 but lost interest and never finished it. There are more sections I would have added, and a fair bit of editing, but there's lots of information in there that I haven't seen anywhere else on the internet. This guide goes into how various mechanics are implemented and calculated in the game. All of the information comes directly from reverse engineering the game ROM.

I recently dusted my Nintendo 64 and my Pokemon Stadium 2 ā And I mean, what an amazing ecosystem they created with these games. I have the whole package: Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2, Transfer Pak, Game Boy Color, Pokemon Blue and Crystal, Link cables, you name it. Back in the day (although still too old to be playing Pokemon, if I have had this stuff when I was a kid and it really was booming I would be a different man today) I used to play with a friend, and the amount of stuff you could do is...

Apparently McDonalds released a new game for Game Boy Color that can be played through a web emulator and, if you own one of those flash cartridges, a physical Game Boy too. Full story was shared in HN a few minutes ago: [https link]

Robopon! Has anyone played these games? They were contemporaries with Pokemon but did not get nearly as much attention. We only got "Sun Version" in the US (not sure why they didn't bring Star over at the same time), but I've recently gotten both Sun and Star in Japanese. I had the English one as as kid but it's too expensive to buy again now lol. Would love to hear if anyone has any memories of this game.

After many years of not having a GB, I've installed the relevant core onto my RetroArch PC. I'm back in vertical shooter heaven playing Solar Striker š¾š

I've been really exploring the Game Boy library lately (especially since LCD modding my GBA), so I wanna hear about what your favorite Game Boy/GBA stuff is, especially if it gets weird. What do y'all like to play?
