S8GBA - Sega 8-bit emulator

So this is a remake of S8DS that was birthed from SMSAdvance, sharing lots of code now.
Biggest differences between S8GBA & SMSAdvance is some mullti-boot functions are missing, but it now also supports Coleco Vision.
It also comes with a html builder for platforms other than Windows.

Great work! Comparing SMSAdvance to S8GBA it appears that S8GBA has more accurate colors. And the included html builder worked perfectly just like the python buildscripts from pattersmatch.

Nice to see this codebase back on the GBA, and ColecoVision support is a great addition. The HTML builder is especially welcome for macOS and Linux users.

When you say some multiboot functions are missing, do you mean the old Link Transfer and Go Multiboot options from SMSAdvance, or are there also limitations when S8GBA itself is launched as a multiboot payload?

I’m particularly interested in GBA Multiboot and Link Port behaviour, so I’d be curious to know whether restoring those functions is planned.

Also, the Releases page currently appears empty for me. Should v1.1.8 be built using the HTML builder for now?
