I'm seeing a lot of confusion, so I'll try my best to clarify what this is about: - I'm building a way to "port" GB/GBC games to the GBA. The end result is a native GBA game - This uses a custom GB to GBA emulator (think 'Classic NES Series' but for GB) native GBA code

I've hinted at it so much there's no point in keeping it under wraps any longer. For the longest time, I've been working on a way to port GB games to the GBA. What I ended up building is a modified GB>GBA emulator that targets a fantasy console instead - I call it the GB Bridge

- The game can then use special registers to trigger native GBA events - Those events are implemented per game (graphics, palettes, extra effects, etc.) - This is not even close to automated. It's a framework for romhackers/artists (me) to give GB games the "Advance" treatment

- What I've shared so far are mockups, since they're the best way to communicate the end goal. The current POCs are still rough and a bit disjointed, so here's one to illustrate my point

What I've posted are mockups of the end goal, but I've tested key parts and they are feasible. I'm currently working on SML. Like most of my stuff this is long-term, so please don't expect releases anytime soon. That said, I hope I gave you something cool to look forward to.

Absolutely loving my current dev environment. Working hard to finish this, believe it or not. I hope it'll be worth all the delays.

Remember that cool SGB border I made for SML2DX (and never released)? Marc updated his awesome border injector with a beautiful gallery and now you can insert it into your original or DX roms!
