...I think he drastically underestimated how demanding this kind of thing is.
no excuses! dude has posted content consistently on his blog for months (http://little-scale.blogspot.com/) sometimes with barely two days between posts. If he's got the free time for that, he's got free time.

Topic: Boston MA GB workshop, interested? (6 replies, posted in General Discussion)
hey all, I'm thinking of organizing a meetup or workshop in the Boston area for gameboy hacking / modding, and want to gauge general interest. I'm affiliated with ASM Retro (http://www.asmretro.com) so those resources could be available. Not totally sure where i'm going with this yet but I know I wanna get a bunch of gameboy hackers together. Thanks!

Re: Buying a Smartboy Cartrage (22 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
The smartboys I have don't always successfully read / write and I'm pretty sure its the case design + cart connector.. put a little weight on it at the right angle and the success rate is higher. Aesthetic quality is low but they "work"
Altane is the way to go! Support for tons of carts (the cheap ones) so you aren't tossing a $100 dollar cart (derp, everdrive gb) in your backpack or glove compartment or whatever to get effed up.

Re: DMG/Pocket video capture with Arduino or Teensy? (244 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
rom is read from the cart as necessary, thats why games crash if you yank the cart out while playing. to my knowledge there are 2 sram chips in the gb, both 8kb, one for VRAM and one for the rest of the ram used by the cpu. if you only read the vram chip you'll only have access to tile and map data. i think you're right on other assumptions though, if you read both ram chips you should be able to use the data to assemble frames.. as long as the gb doesnt crash lol

Re: DMG/Pocket video capture with Arduino or Teensy? (244 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I was kind of wrong, but you gotta consider sprites, screen on/off, color palette... there are some things that affect the screen that are outside of vram, and if you want 1:1 video capture they need to be considered.

Re: DMG/Pocket video capture with Arduino or Teensy? (244 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
i could be wrong but...
having access to the GB's ram will only give you the tiledata, you will need access to the rom to assemble the tiledata into screens / images. This includes sprite data and locations, priorities etc. And you would need to know what code is executing in the rom to figure out what needs to be where on the screen. i dont think its as simple as using image generation code from an emulator.
