I got an urge to check out what's going on in the gameboy homebrew world today and, it looks like a lot of things are somewhat falling by the wayside or not updated as much as in the NES world---or I just don't know where to look, yet. Is there anything as interesting as a full-size platformer game or RPG going on in the gameboy world? Is there anybody who can produce cart plastics and boards for the system? I'd like to see that happen some day. I'm not sure when or if I'd do it myself, but, the game boy is amongst the systems I hold very dear from my childhood..it certainly deserves a homebrew scene as vibrant as the NES's.
The only things I've found are:
-a variety of very old emulators
-gambatte emulator (seems more up to date, in use on mobile devices these days)
-gbdk (old)
-rgbasm (somewhat more up to date?)
-everdrive gb
-a few random tutorials from more than 10 years ago (asmschool, gdbk's examples, and game boy devrs...which seems to have some updates from this year, but all the code there is from 15 years ago or so in most cases)
...so now I find myself obsessively mirroring any information I can find about GB dev locally in case its all gone by the time I have the motivation to build a game for it
