Jayro's Gameboy Test Cartridge v1.11 has just released! (MAJOR UPDATE!)

Title Screen.gif

​

I've been busy as hell trying to fix the Button Test's bug, and I've finally fixed it. You can now press all the buttons at once. This is a HUGE win!
I also overhauled the startup sequence, changed the title screen a bit, and turned the useless and boring "Test Grid" into a colorful rainbow maze for testing the Dpad. It's called "Dpad Maze". (Real original, eh?) I know the name is stupid, but I'm limited on character length in the menu. I also brightened up the menu colors a tiny bit, as some of them were a bit dark. The Sound Test menu and the Button Test menu were most notably dark. The Pixel Repair menu got a redesign too, with a new logo for stuck pixels, and a soft light gray background.

And as always, it can be downloaded HERE completely free of charge.

It's my first-ever project with GB Studio, and it has taught me SO MUCH! It's nice to be able to refine parts of it to work more efficiently, learn new graphical/sprite/animation tricks to accomplish what I want, etc. My next trick will be making songs! :D (Not for this project, but a separate project)

It's amazing how you've improved your skills using GB Studio. And even better when you're able to see what you should change and make it better. I really enjoy GB stuff and I can say I'm a huge fan of your work. :D

Can't wait to see your next project! ^_^

Thanks, GB Studio has been really fun for me. I never in my wildest dreams ever thought I'd be able to develop Gameboy software without touching a single line of code, but here we are!

I never tried to use GB Studio, but I'm really curious about knowing how it works. It looks very intuitive, I just didn't have the time to spend on it. :rolleyes:

Since you don't need to know how to code, do you think a noob like me would be able to start a project using GB Studio? I know nothing about programming. :rofl:

Yes, as I don't know anything about programming either. I spend almost an equal amount of time in Photoshop as I do in GB Studio, just drawing the graphics. This was the first project I ever started in GB Studio, and it's been amazing so far. I've refined it with new tricks I've learned along the way. There are YouTube tutorials and a Discord server with many helpful people.
