A curated awesome-list of Game Boy (and Game Boy Color) development resources, including tools, assemblers, compilers, emulators, documentation, homebrew ROMs, and reverse-engineering materials. It is community-maintained under the gbdev.io umbrella and also available as a web version.
Use cases
- find tools to develop Game Boy homebrew games
- learn Game Boy hardware and assembly programming
- find Game Boy emulators and emulator development resources
- find open-source Game Boy ROMs and homebrew examples
- get started with GBDK or RGBDS development
- find Game Boy reverse engineering and disassembly resources
When to choose
- you are starting Game Boy or Game Boy Color homebrew development and need a resource map
- you want a comprehensive, community-maintained index of GB dev tools, docs, and emulators
- you are researching Game Boy hardware, opcodes, or reverse engineering
When to avoid
- you need Game Boy Advance development resources (use awesome-gbadev instead)
- you need a single tool or library rather than a curated list of links
- you need actively maintained software rather than a directory of resources of varying quality
