All posts for the month April, 2012

Around 10 years ago now, I spent some time teaching myself assembly language on the Gameboy Advance Console (ARM7). I had spent time writing assembly on the C64, so was no stranger to getting into ASM. While I was learning to work with the gameboy advance hardware, I produced a number of small samples to help beginners with some of the basics. I came across these the other day, so decided to add them for download here. They are still hosted elsewhere on the net, but might as well make them available myself 🙂

Note: I used the Boycott Advance emulator, which can still be found on the net for download.

Additional Note: Digital Inline Productions was a name I was releasing my source under at the time. The name didn’t last long 🙂


This set of samples includes things like setting up different video modes, parallax scrolling, sprites, fonts, a plasma demo effect and a few other things. You can download the source here: [Download]

The assembler I used back then was goldroad, which I also have available for download here: [Download]

Another less interesting, but important feature in Corona is sound (SFX and Music). The ninth entry in my Corona Samples series shows a simple audio system, which allows for multiple sound effects playing at once, along with an audio track (mp3). Please note that the audio files have not been included in the download zip. You will need to source your own and put them an audiodata folder.
