well I was just looking into how the xboo and gblink cables work and i realised there was no fundamental need for the two applications to actually need differently wired cables, they're just using different pins for the same purpose... so i've added xboo compatibility to gblinkdx. meaning if you're a weirdo with extremely specific needs like me you don't need to keep two separate cables around anymore

Oh, hi! It's you!
I must be doing well,
watching out for fires.
There isn't even a little bit
of fire here.
Yes, it's a safe world.

I got it working by hex editing the port address in the executable :blobsunglasses:

Anyway if you want to ask me a question in the meantime please do retrospring.net/@taizou

Thank you!
I'll eat this.
(munch, munch, GULP!)!
Phew, you saved me.
This is the only way I can thank you.
Please take my musical instrument.

@vikxin I mean what do you think I was using for gblinkdx already

@mothcompute i guess there are 2 parts to it, the gba multiboot protocol to actually send the rom which i'm sure is documented... and then the 2-way communication with the communicator which yeah maybe i could reverse engineer.... reimplementing all that would be a lot of work however you slice it though

was looking into the same being possible with my GBA multiboot dumping setup...........lol

that one depends on abandoned closed-source program Xboo Communicator to act as the PC client & that doesn't allow you to configure the port so fuck me i guess. i'm already stuck using linux for it because theres no way to get raw port access on 64bit windows without a library which i have no way to make it use

well i just updated my pc-gameboy linking program to support custom port mappings meaning you can use it with a parallel port on an expansion card rather than needing a 20 year old computer and/or rare modern motherboard with legacy ports on it

@mavica_again seen this in the emulator handheld world too, people buy these budget devices with bad screens & then wonder if they could upgrade it to a nice iPS one & the cheapest source of a matching IPS panel is always just a slightly more expensive handheld

What gaming consoles (or computers) did you play on as a kid? β€” Amiga 1200 was my first but I probably spent more time with creative software like Deluxe Paint than any games. I did enjoy some of the (simpler) puzzle/strategy… retrospring.net/@taizou/a/1129

Found it.
You have to hack the palette to make it appear correctly, but there's a hidden image located off-screen in Home Improvement: Power Tool Pursuit! (1994) for the Super Nintendo.
