- Food Spirit is a homebrew game for the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color. It will run on real hardware, but you can play it on a computer with an emulator. It works best on Game Boy Color.
- Building requires gbdk 2.96a to be installed. I've included an archive of it in the root directory of this folder.
- Run
make.sh
to compile the rom into thebuild
directory.
Follow the instructions in gbdk's readme to install it for Linux. Essentially:
- Extract the archive to
/opt/gbdk/
export GBDKDIR=/opt/gbdk/
Some problems I ran into:
- gbdk is quite old and depends on 32-bit executables. You'll need to make sure to enable this on your system. As of early-2017, Windows bash doesn't support this.
- If you're on Windows and using a VM to compile and you run into an error like
Value too large for defined data type
. It's because you're accessing the directory through a shared folder. I've includedmake-in-vm.sh
as a convenience script when building like this.
