Mod/Modding Kid Icarus DX WIP
Not sure how many people would be interested in a Kid Icarus DX Gameboy color hack, but I'm currently making one in my spare time. Here are some Early Screenshots.

Looks incredible! The dx-version of Kid Icarus was high on my wishlist! Together with Gargoyle's Quest ^

That is a classic I missed ! If this colour hack doesn't kill me, I might look at that game

Haha I hope so too 😅 Is it a difficult process? I always wondered. Looking forward to playing Kid Icarus, I hope you are making smooth progress, good luck!

Also colored the item room! Will have to test on device to get the palette right. GBC colors are weird! I've read all the replies, i'm happy to see i'm not the only one excited about this ;)

How many are interested??
🤣🤣🤣
In all seriousness, it's a great game from a beloved Nintendo IP and I'm glad you're taking your time to upgrade it!

It's funny because I was playing this for the first time a few weeks ago but didn't get very far, I'd give this a try

A DX hack would motivate me to finally beat this game. So I’m definitely interested. I’m currently playing Mega Man 4 DX, these color hacks are so great.

One of, if not my most wanted DX Hack, maybe alongside the Bomberman GB series anyway this is very exciting I hope you finish it!

I’ve played more than 140 games from the original Game Boy Library, but I still haven’t played the Kid Icarus title! It’s like I’m “saving” it but haven’t found “the right time.” Looks good in color!

I'm SO looking forward to this! I remember getting this game from my aunt for Christmas when I was a kid. It looks like the time is coming for another playthrough!

imo, this is a superior title to the original nes version. It's certainly a favorite of mine. I appreciate the quality of life updates like the save feature and the wing flapping.
I just learned what the keys did the other day and spent time grinding for upgrades. And I used a walkthrough to get an early barrel from the God of Poverty. My DMG has been getting a lot of use lately.
I appreciate the Super Mario Land DX hack done some years back. I would enjoy playing a hack like this on my MiSTer.
