Introduction

This is my attempt to code the intro cutscenes to Mario Hockey created by 2bitcrook. This it the original intro:

The original Tumblr post is here. You can view the You Tube video of this code running here and a smaller GIF here:

I took the original GIF images and wrote code to reproduce them on an actual Game Boy. This is still a work in progress and so far I have only implemented the first six cut scenes. I have attempted to reproduce them as faithfully as I can but unfortunately although the demake tries to follow all Game Boy limitations on hardware it doesn't take into account limitations on sprites so they can not be reproduced exactly as in the video.

Compiling

You need to have Rednex GameBoy Development System installed in your system as well as the make program. Just type make and you should see:

 $ make
 rgbasm -i inc/ -o main.obj  main.z80
 rgblink -n roms/mariohokey.sym -m roms/mariohokey.map -o roms/mariohokey.gb main.obj
 rgbfix -v -t "Mario Hockey" -p 0 roms/mariohokey.gb
 rm main.obj

After that you should have a ROM image in the roms directory with a .map and .sym table:

$ ls -l roms/
total 144

-rw-r--r--  1 Cesar  staff   2887 Jan  2 03:19 mariohokey.map
-rw-r--r--  1 Cesar  staff   1478 Jan  2 03:19 mariohokey.sym
