Hey there, it's been a while. ;)

I just spent the night overhauling my Gameboy Test Cartridge, and updated it to v1.7 with some big changes. It now can detect if you're on a monochrome or color Gameboy, and apply the proper Dead Pixel test for each type of Gameboy. The Dead Pixel test for the Gameboy Color was completely rewritten to use pallet-swapping tricks, and as a result no longer flashes black between colors. The color change is now instant. There's other small tweaks I did too, like changing the dog's fur from red to brown, redrawing the Button Test info screen, and colorizing the scrolling color bars in the Scroll Test.

You can learn all about the new changes here, and I also uploaded the printable DS case cover:

Physical copies are available in both Gameboy Color and Gameboy Advance profiles. (It's a Gameboy Color ROM on both.)

My new stock of cartridges came in too, and they look absolutely mint! The GBC carts actually have "Nintendo GAME BOY" at the top, instead of just GAME. (And I'm a sucker for translucent colorful carts!)
