GBAGI is a Sierra adventure game interpreter/emulator for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. With the use of a flash cart on your GBA, you can play all your AGI games on the portable. Not only can you play Sierra’s adventure games, but also your own, and dozens of homebrew games made by other enthusiasts! The authors wordsfor the new release:

The save/restore problems were due to the way the view/picture information was being stored in the SRAM. It’s completely fixed. As well, The restore dialog no longer has the name edit field enabled, so you can save your game with one less button press (it makes game play more enjoyable, heh).The inventory bug was due to certain opcode parameters being addressed as immediate values rather than variable references. It’s been completely fixed as well. Thanks to Juha Terho for finding these, you’re one of the best beta testers around!

Freetune Advance is a”Tonal Guitar Tuner”. Here is what the author says:

I have written my first GBA program and it is Tonal Guitar Tuner, you play the note and tune your string along with the tone.You do have to have a firly good ear to tune along to a tone but even if you haven’t yet developed a ‘good ear’ it will still help you get the strings very close, then you can tune across the strings as you would normally do.Thanks to OrR for his GBAkkord which inspired me to write FreeTune Adv.
