Single-screen layout will remain the default in GBDK-NES. 8bit coordinates provide better compatibility with GBDK games targeting GB/GG/SMS.

It also means less memory / CPU cycles, which can be important to minimize.

But for those who really want to avoid seams, there will now be options.

(and ) is adding new NES tilemap layouts!

By default we use 1-screen layout for simplicity - but this has scrolling artifacts.

The NES can do better. 2kB VRAM allows H / V layout to limit artifacts.

And cartridges can also provide VRAM for 4-screen layout to remove them completely.

New release of #gbtoolsid: 1.5.2

A command line & web app for identifying tools used to build #GameBoy ROMs (such as #GBDK, #GBStudio, #zgb, #hugedriver, etc)

Changes over last few versions:

- Detect #GBSDK
- Linux and Mac Arm64 builds

Made a quick port to GBDK-2020 of msx_qrcode (which is a fork of Nayuki's code).

So it's an easy way to add runtime generation of QR Codes to a #gbdk based #Game Boy game.
