Shonumi's research was very helpful in making this game.
This project required some further research into the Four Player Adapter (DMG-07) beyond Shonumi's, the findings have been merged into the pandocs page for it and are helping to improve emulator support already.

Something Game Boy related to start this off. In the game ROM header, four bytes are defined as manufacturer code, but nobody knows, what it is for.

When you can make the SNES run any code you want (via the JUMP command: gbdev.io/pandocs/SGB_...) the only limits are whatever the SNES can do and your own patience.

Oh neat! I probably should have checked pandocs to start with.

... since the files are plaintext markdown, any program that reads markdown and has a good export will do it in a pinch. I had a simple markdown app I snagged for a couple dollars that I used for a bit, but then I ditched it when I got pandocs to play nice. Google "markdown translator" and your OS?

I missed two characters (Right Bracket, and one of the double-border symbols).
Gameb oy Tile Designer doesn't allow you to "insert" tiles, so I had to find the tiles in the generated C code and just insert them manually :P

…the palettes. truth be told, none of this comes into play on the title screen, where there is just one sprite, but the sprite code was getting ugly and i wanted to get all the rules implemented before coming back to clean it up.

i really like pandocs yaml metadata and all my stuff already uses it so i'm going to use a shitty regex to get titles, descriptions and dates

I THINK it's by using the "priority" bit in OAM? This isn't the first time I've studied this but it's been the HARDEST thing for me to wrap my head around!

Fixed! It's BG priority over OBJ 🤦♂️, not the other way around (pandocs just calls the OBJ attribute priority, which threw me off and made me think "ahh object priority")

gbdev.io/pandocs/SGB_... You can set a custom border, copy data to SNES RAM, ask the SNES to jump anywhere, read multiple controllers, play SNES sound effects (and there's a bunch of stock sound effects included) and music, and set regions of the screen to use different palettes.

That is where it is bumpiest, if you know how to connect to pandocs, I installed a plugin that generates Word files for me, but I have the CSS so customized I need to tweak it to do better, right now I just copy/paste the story quick into a word file and tidy it up.
