Comment on Wolfenstein 3D for Gameboy Color on custom cartridge (2016)parent

Comments

I don't think it's widely known (only found and documented somewhat recently) that there is a way for cartridges to directly drive the Game Boy Color LCD, bypassing the CPU/PPU (PGB Modes). At that point though it becomes even less of a Game Boy game than what the Wolfenstein and other carts are doing.

GBC had GTA2 port which wasn't half bad but the Driver port was smoother and with better mechanics.
