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 to GBA emulator that targets a fantasy console instead - I call it the GB Bridge.
add a skeleton here at some point

Here's a Super Game Boy enhancement driver I need to finish some day. It uses a circular buffer in VRAM to communicate with the SNES at 60fps via a combination of command data and per-frame data, rather than joypad packets. This particular version allowed a Game Boy game to reuse Game Boy Color art.

Phantasy Star is a vital RPG from the 8-bit era, and one that, thanks to its Sega Ages treatment, is worth your time today, even if you're the kind of person who shies away from this era of role-playing game. Especially if, really.
