Another Q from me! Assembling GB game carts.

[Mallos31]

I've gotten into Gameboy assembly a little bit for whatever reason, and I was wondering if anyone on here has done any, and what assembler they used? I know the Gameboy's Z80 processor used some pretty different instruction sets than most other processors, (Like LD instead of MOV) so I need an assembler that actually works. I know we've had some people around here working on gameboy and gameboy color games! I could really use the help. Thanks!

I don't know about GBA assembly but I've followed this guy's tutorials before and all of the programs that he's linked to have performed as advertised: http://static.patater.com/gbaguy/gbaasm.htm

http://gbdev.gg8.se/wiki/articles/GBDK - been years since I used it, tho, so I don't think I can say much about it (usage, compatibility with modern OS, etc)

I've barely toyed around with it at all, but I found that RGBDS was the easiest toolset for me to use. Just a heads-up, making gbc games isn't as easy as you'd think it'd be. I had years of experience working with z80 on the TI83+ and I was utterly lost...

Thanks! That's the one that successfully assembled for me! And yeah, thanks for the heads up. Assembly in general is ridiculous, but I want to give it a shot. Even if it's a little shot.
