In 2012 Disney released the film, Wreck It Ralph, from their Pixar based sister team. By compiling my C code to a GBC Rom, I can test and play it on real hardware! You can copy ROM dumps from real system cartridges to an SD / Micro SD card and play it on a real system! Of course most people probably use these to play pirated game ROM’s, but developers like me can use an Everdrive cartridge as a makeshift dev system. More than that, I can copy the rom to a micro SD card and pop it in my GBC Everdrive cartridge and play my game on a REAL GameBoy color!įor those that don’t know – Everdrive is a legally gray-area hardware manufacturer that makes cartridges for popular retro systems like NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, GameBoy Color (of course) as well as more. It really is magical – I can write some C code in a file and compile it to a ROM that will work in a Nintendo GameBoy Color emulator. I decided to see what else I could develop with C and got side tracked from the Worms project to make GameBoy Color games! That’s right – I was able to write C code and compile a GBC ROM (GameBoy Color ROM). While developing my Worms World Party TI-89 remake, I realized that after 18 years of development experience that I wasn’t as intimidated by the C language as much as I previously thought.
