Pretty sweet

Alright, I've compiled the mapfile and C code through DosBox (btw nice duck pic, Apricorn), now I just need to get around to compiling it to a ROM.

Here's the rom in action. So awesome.

How the hell did I not recognise this before?
Thanks for the heads-up!

budmelvin - Thank you,

What you have done is very helpful.

I'm still having a little trouble because yy-chr is set up to edit 16x16tiles and your tile layout is 20x18.

I'm trying to figure out a work around to this problem.

The only thing I've come up with so far requires tons of tedious work and a lot of copy/pasting.

Thanks bud! really helpful

I'll have some fun with this one.

I don't really have time to make up a whole tutorial but I put up some example code for 360 unique tiles on gb classic (http://www.budmelvin.com/dev/gb/classic360.zip) and gb color (http://www.budmelvin.com/dev/gb/color360.zip).
For those having trouble with pcx2gb I would suggest trying it in dosbox.

SurfaceDragon you will be happy to see the zips include a rom file which should be extremely easy to edit with yy-chr, each tile is labeled with x and y coordinates.  I haven't tested them on real hardware though, hopefully someone else with take the time to try that and let me know.

Alright, tomorrow I've got IT, in which me and a few mates are rebuilding some old XP machines.
I'll have ago at compiling a fullscreen image ROM or two on these machines and report back.

yeah me too. If there was supposed to be a picture pop up then it doesn't work for win 7

I didn't see an image.

I ran the command in both regular and elevated command prompts, pressed enter.

As soon as I ran the command, two dialogs popped up saying that "this system doesn't support fullscreen".

So yeah.

Thought it would be something like that
anyway, I stopped trying to figure out how to use more tiles, and went on with trying to animate them.

Because it's fun
Never programmed anything in C before..
just reading other programs code.... cutting, pasting, edditing, and see what happens

Any tutorial would be awesome tho

Chainsaw Police - If you were able to run PCX2GB as far as seeing an image on the screen, you have to hit Enter a few times to get it to do it's thing.

Timbob - Don't drive yourself crazy w/ 360 unique tiles.  On the gameboy classic, there is only memory space to hold 256 - although there is a method of storing the extra 104 in a different memory area and using an interrupt to point to that other memory region when drawing the screen.

On gameboy color it's a little easier, there is a second memory area you can store the other 104 tiles and then there is a second 'map' that, instead of showing what tile goes in what screen location, it describes what palette and what memory bank to take the tile from.

I should have some time next week to maybe write out a tutorial about each method.

lol

I've left it for almost two hours and nothing happened

click ignore
and then some shit will happen and you should have something.c and something.map in the folder
