The legendary #Workboy found a new home! I ported the ROM to work on the #MegaDuck laptop (a #GameBoy clone). Not the hardware we wanted, but...it's hardware that exists! Keyboard, Real Time Clock and all. Free #DuckDuckWorkboy #rompatch on the itch page: bbbbbr.itch.io/mega-duck-pa... #romhacking

New release of #SuperJuniorSameDuck (my fork of SameBoy with #MegaDuck laptop support) - Support ".md2s" file extension (MD2 mapper + SRAM) - Preserve VRAM on "Load Cart From Slot" command, allows ROMs to detect whether they are running on Spanish vs German laptop model github.com/bbbbbr/Super...

Found a hidden treasure in #GameBoy #Workboy ROM (looking for Bank 0 free space) Menu shown when run without keyboard connected has hidden "Backup Options" entry. To reveal search for "ITCMRT" in phone app (cart sram must be init-ed). Appears to Dump/Restore cart SRAM to keyboard over link port.

New release: little #GameBoy and #MegaDuck on-console memory hex viewer / editor. Made it for inspecting save data on the Duck Laptop where the SRAM can be on a separate cart than the ROM. Possibly of use for casual Game Boy memory peeking and poking too. github.com/bbbbbr/gameb...

Made a source-patch #MegaDuck port of the recent #Celeste Classic #GameBoy version by Rous/joshop. Playable and fun even on blurry oem screens. bbbbbr.itch.io/megaduck-cel... Patch and binary made and shared with permission, only needed minor edits to get it running on the good duck. #retrogaming

Some tiny #megaduck console icons drawn and rom patched into the title screen.

Taking a short break from main project for a quick afternoon #MegaDuck port of someone else's new (open source) homebrew Game Boy game. Only minor changes required to get it running. Hope to be able to release it soon. Surprisingly playable on laptop model considering blurry low contrast screen.

Poll results are in! Mostly the same as 2024. (Whats MAIN way people play #GameBoy / Color games) Combined results from Mastodon, Bluesky, and barely any Twitter this year. Very un-scientific and un-rigorous! 😅 #gbdev #gameboycolor #retrogaming #gbdk #gbstudio #rgbds

Cool to see another project making use of the SFC/SNES mouse on the Suepr Game Boy! Hope to see some GBBasic projects that use it. Also credit to vinheim3 for the original SGB mouse patches and concept.

The SFC/SNES mouse driver is now live with GB BASIC v1.10! Provided as a standalone external kernel, requires the mouse plugged into Port 2 and SGB features enabled in your project. Fully supports SGB1&2. Thanks to @bbbbbr.bsky.social for the open-source code! #gbbasic #gbdev #gamedev #indiedev

If there's one thing the world needs - it's RGB modding a Tiger game•com.

Did an IPS screen mod for the Supaboy handheld #SNES clone. Viewing angles are soooo much better. I'm really bad at getting flex cables into their connectors, but eventually prevailed.

OK, apparently couldn't resist one more feature in #QRPaint (v0.9.4). Added a Spray tool with a slightly over-engineered random spray and flow rate. 😄 bbbbbr.itch.io/game-boy-qr-... #Gameboy #Megaduck #pixelart #retrogaming

Small update to #QRPaint (v0.9.3) that adds selectable fill style for the Circle and Rectangle tools. bbbbbr.itch.io/game-boy-qr-... #Gameboy #Megaduck #pixelart

The output size of the #GameBoy printer is cute, but the larger print format of the #MegaDuck (a Game Boy clone) printer is much better for pinning up or the fridge door. (coming soon to #QRPaint: a Mega Duck port) GB on left, Duck on right #retrogaming

What if you could misuse a @furrtek.bsky.social GB-303 music cart as an etch-a-sketch in QR-Paint? Just trying it out, so far not planning to make it a formal part of #QRPaint since it would result in some feature limitations. #GameBoy #EtchASketch
