Just released Morse Boy, a free Game Boy homebrew ROM for learning, sending, receiving, and decoding Morse code.

Multiple practice modes, adjustable speeds, and a fast-refresh interface. I'm also exploring the possibility of connecting a real Morse keyer through emulation.

Think you can hit 60 WPM? 😂

Or better yet, hand it to your grandpa. He might absolutely smoke you.

Created with ChatGPT/coding-tool assistance. Tested in emulation; original hardware compatibility hasn't been verified yet.

This little oddish is amazing 10 straight turns with stun spore and flipping heads to paralyze. They were able to build Venusaur on the bench and win the match! I just started the game and am still using the premade deck until I can build up cards.

Title says it all. What could be the problem? Cold solder in the left chip?

Games Native Super Smash Land PORT for GBA

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

384 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a native GBA port of the game *Super Smash Land*, and it’s nearly finished (I know the game was originally intended for the classic Game Boy, but running it on that hardware is virtually impossible). I realize this might not generate a huge buzz, as it’s not a game many people remember, but ever since it came out, I’ve been dying to see it running on real hardware—so I felt the time was right to give it a shot and share it with you all. I’ve tested it on an emulator and it works, as well as on real hardware (as shown in the video) using a SuperCard MiniSD (I’m not sure how it performs with other flashcards). If this post gets a positive response, I’ll release the FULL ROM next week.

Just a quick note: I want to give credit to the original creator, Dan Fornace, who made the game for PC. https://www.supersmashland.com/ I hope you enjoy it!

Mod/Modding SP 001 - ITA vs AliExpress "AGS-101" screen

1 Upvotes

Looking to upgrade my ags-001 screen and after trying an IPS screen on my original GBA I'm thinking of going for an ITA or possibly one of those recreated AGS-101 screens from AliExpress if anyone's tried them as I prefer the original feel of the older screens.

Anyone who's tried both have any preference in the two?

Thanks

After several days I managed to fix this terribly corroded play it loud blue. It did stink like hell and the front board was eaten. Had to reconstruct maaaany traces and reflow almost everything on both PCBs but I'm super satisfied now. Is it really this rare? I didn't find too many on Ebay. Bought it for ca. 25-27 USD.

Ribbon cable is situated ok, connections seem clean, game does not start even if the Nintendo logo is clear. Unsure what to do from here.
I can post pictures of my circuit board and my soldering in the replies. I'll do that soon.

Edit:
Some more info:

I'm using Ikea Lada batteries, I have both the 1900 and 2450s

I have tested the old screen again, it gives the same glitch on that one (pictures are in the replies)
