Tools by Jens Ch. Restemeier for developing programs for the Nintendo Gameboy.
- SYM2L - Converts TASM-Symbols into GBSIM-Symbols for debugging.
- COMP - A small compressor. It uses word and byte RLE, and it finds sequences that are already stored before.
- DUMP - Convert a binary stream into an includeable hexdump. Use this, if your assembler can not include binary.
- GIF2GB - Converts a GIF for use in a GB-Program. It offers two ways to use a pic in a GB-program:
- You can use it as an APA-background (If you want to draw something);
- Or you can use an optimized map/font.
- GAMEBOY.INC - A simple include-file defining symbols for the internal registers of a Game Boy.
Known issues
There are still a few bugs in some of the programs.
Changelog
V2.2
- I used DJGPP to compile the tools. They require a DPMI-server, so if you're not running Windoze or OS/2, you will need CWSDPMI or something similar.
- Dropped the calc_crc tool. And erased the sourcecode for it.
- Changed documentation into HTML-format.
