  • GBAX 2003 Coding Competition (misc)

    News taken from GBAemu.com:

    GBAEmu and GP32Emu have joined up to bring a new GBA and GP32 coding competition. This year we decided that entries should be either a game or emulator for either machine, sorry no demos this time as its difficult to judge against games and emulators.

    Prizes are:

    1st $150 & GBA-SP Console
    2nd $150
    3rd $100

    In addition, all three winners receive a Game Wallet & 128MB SMC or something else of their choice from GBAX. There are also runners up prizes and all good entries will receive a smaller prize. For rules and other details check out the official page.

  • AYBABTU (GBA Techdemo)

    Lynx sent me a simple tech demo for GBA which displays a “Zero Wings” logo. You can press left/right and it will move into that direction. If you press the same direction again it will get faster etc…

    The demo has been uploaded to the PDRoms archive. Download it from the GBA/Demo section.
