so you want to program for the gba

So, more then month into this my gba programming I have a learned a lot. The first and probably the most important was finding a good tutorial on this subject. The only one that I would recommend would be TONC. It has the most up to date information all aspects of gba development and even goes as far as to correct other tutorial faults.

That said this is definitely not for the weak. This has to be the most comprehensive field of programming because, you are deal with all aspects of programming, from binary math, assembly, memory management, interrupts, etc. making it enough to make any programs head spin. Though, with this said it is also extremely liberating in that it allows to have control over what the hardware is doing since, there is not operating system to deal with. For myself, I'm on the fence about how much I like this but, I keep tell myself that it will make me a better programmer.I how it does.
