Hello,
I've just started to write my articles about GameBoy development. My next goal is to write the GBA OS Barebones, that will be released today.

As I don't like to write too much, my articles are going to be little. Check it out: GameBoy_Introduction.

Best Regards,
Nathan Paulino Campos

All the OS developer relevant information seems to be missing right now - I can't find anything I wouldn't be able to find on wikipedia.

As for the images, did you check for copyright before uploading them? (there are some really close matches that aren't public domain...)

Sorry, I removed the images. But that is easy to find at Wikipedia, because it's a very beginner introduction. Just to make people begin to see what GameBoy is. The next tutorial will be the barebones, and that one you will not find at Wikipedia.

Well, I personally don't like the redirect, because the Game Boy is totally different from the Game Boy Advance (I know because I wrote an emulator for the first one (at least the Color version which is nearly the same) and tried to do so for the latter).

The barebones wouldn't even run since the Gameboy and the Gameboy Colour both use a custom Z80-processor and to that processor the ARM7 ISA is gibberish .

I'm agreeing with Combuster here. This is still an operating system development community, therefore the wiki should contain information relevant to operating system development.

e.g. this suits OSDev better.

ARM Overview is for beginners to the ARM-platform and I can't find most of it at wikipedia. I've to admit though, that with some do-it-in-three-seconds Googling I'd find either a PDF, an ODP or a PPT about the platform.

I moved the page for the obvious reason, but didn't think about killing the redirect side-effect as it would also invalidate the link in the OP's post.

This of course is a hint...

Here is the barebones tutorial: GameBoy_Advance_Barebones

Evidently not one blunt enough

Well, then I might do just that.

Nathan? Naaaathan? Your link is broken!
