I have spent a few weeks playing through the game at my leisure, finding spelling mistakes, and correcting them in a hex editor. I figured I'd share my work with everyone. So here it is, The Legend of Zelda - Link's Awakening DX [Redux+].
DOWNLOAD THE PATCH HERE: MEGA
Use Lunar IPS to patch...
I upgraded my laptop to Windows 11 Pro. It's much more snappy and responsive, even on this shitty Ryzen 3 3200 APU dual-core. No more desktop lag is really nice. Haven't run into any issues either, but I do miss the taskbar buttons being small, and set to "combine only when needed.", otherwise...
I finished up this project and made the Etsy listing.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1096585119/jayros-pride-cartridge-for-gameboy-color
Basically, it's a Gameboy cartridge with a slideshow of Pride flags. You navigate between them using left and right on the D-pad. Pressing Start shows my...
My latest client Lexi wanted to give her husband one of my custom logo cartridges as an anniversary present, but she just wanted a simple picture with some text on it and a pokemon reference... so I kicked it up a few notches for them, and put this whole thing together. (She wanted a Pokemon...
I just rebuilt my Pi 4 server with a better acrylic case, internalized the SSD, and had to rebuild the OS from scratch again because my 64GB USB stick died. It just shows up as 64MB unformatted, and won't format to anything. Good thing it was cheap, lol. Now it's just on a fast 32GB SD card, and...
I got the wild idea to put all the most common pride/gender flags into a Gameboy cartridge, for absolutely no reason at all. I just finished the label art for it, and ordered 25 of them. They are on holographic foil labels, so the colors will really look F A B U L O U S!
These will be for sale...
One, MediCat USB will be getting it's own site for documentation, at https://medicatusb.xyz/ and is currently under construction. @MON5TERMATT is currently crunching on the website design, and AAA3A's MediCat Documentation will be posted there. So that will be a resource for people needing...

Added a Credits screen, with a QR that directs you to my Etsy shop for a physical copy. The ROM download is free in the link above, of course.
I also made another logo cart for a client, and given the restraints of the Gameboy...
So my city just named a new bridge after Ned Flanders from the Simpsons... And I'm not even kidding.

The A and B buttons switch between the Repro Joe logo, and his cartridge mascot "Carty". Pressing Start credits me with a QR code to my Etsy shop. (This a service I render for under $20. I don't control the shipping prices outside the U.S.)
I'm so glad I no longer need a hacked PS3 to finally play this game! :D
Here's the title screen:
I decided to add Gameboy color detection to this particular game, so I wouldn't have to worry about appeasing both Color and Monochrome Gameboys. It's just easier for this very colorful project.
The premise: Pac-Man has gone missing, and Clyde goes looking for him...
It actually works on Monochrome Gameboys just fine as well.
Sadly, there's no black keys due to lack of extra buttons. Each button is assigned to a note, and I "etched" them into what button belongs to which note. The middle arrow also lights up to let you know which note is being pressed. They...

Here's the Changelog:
Changelog for v1.8:
-Completely overhauled the Sound Test Menu. Now every button (besides B to exit the test) generates sound. Up and Down on the Dpad plays an 8-note (CDEFGABC) musical scale, and...
...And it was awful. I installed Windows 11 on my 2.00GHz overclocked 4GB Raspberry Pi 4, and the performance (even on SSD) was utter shit. I used my licensed copy of NTLite to strip it down of bloatware first. Still pretty sluggish though. So that was fun.
Without hardware acceleration, I...
I was unaware that I had accidentally uploaded an old, early, and unfinished build of MediCat VHD v21H2 the other day, and for that I apologize. BUT! I'm about to make it up to you all...
I just spent the entire morning and afternoon cranking out the first-ever Windows 11 build of MediCat VHD...
I missed the preorder window sadly, but was able to get a copy from Best Buy online. I'm super stoked I finally have it. I never played the original on the N64, so this will be a real treat for me. I did preorder the Doom 1, 2, and 3 collection thankfully.
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...
This is the third and final time I'm doing this battery mod. The first time, I used a CleanJuice battery mod, and one of the battery terminals ripped the entire solder pad off, fucking the power board to hell, and my attempts at repairing it just made it worse.
So then I finally tried a 2nd...

I just dislike that they don't let me choose the voices before the game starts. Happened with botw as well, had to change to japanese and restart. -
