intro gameplay

Download the ROM from the itchio page

Why?

I made this game for two reasons, to honor one of my best friends, to study more about the hardware and development on the GBA and to be able to create something playable.

Tested emulators

These are the emulators I've tested and approved, feel free to use one of your choice.

  • mGBA - version 0.10.2 (Windows, Mac, Linux, and more...)
  • VisualBoyAdvance - version 1.8.0 (Windows, Mac, Linux)
  • My Boy! - version 2.0.6 (Android)

Build

To compile the ROM is quite simple. Prerequisites:

  • DevKitARM - generate the ROM
  • Grit - convert the graphics
  • Maxmod - convert the audio files

Luckily, Devkitpro provides an environment with the programs required above, complete for the development of several consoles, including the GBA, just go to their website and follow the installation instructions.

After installing the requirements, go to the folder where the Kadu Bird files are located and run make on the command line.

Compiled ROM, ready to play =)
