DX version

Hi Great read (https://daid.github.io/FFA-Disassembly/), thank you πŸΏπŸ‘πŸ»

I am interested in colorizing this rom. I am a designer, do not really want to read up on Z80 language, .asm scripts etc. for this purpose. Hence...

1st: thank you for the Disassembler, I am sure it plays a great role in colorizing this rom.

Q: Any hints on how the disassembled Rom can be turned back into a .gbc file having injected the colorized maps / sprites?

I already have a DX branch on github, on which I experimented with the code changes needed to color things. But it's not an easy task. The GBC has some pretty trough technical limitations, and how the FFA code is structured it also doesn't make things easy. I have things setup for coloring the maps (with usual GBC technical limits). But giving sprites unique colors is way more complicated. However, I'm currently not planning to continue this work. As I have other projects that have my main attention.

I highly recommend joining the discord https://discord.gg/khqXGDktl as there are other people there working on making a colorized version of FFA as well.

Building the disassembly back into a rom is possible, not super complicated. It's easiest from Linux or WSL. Not sure if building directly on windows works.

...but would that allow me to just add color to the graphics and then build the ROM, "voila it's in color"?


b) It seems inpossible to join the Discord !?

And, no, it's not as simple as adding color to graphics and voila. It's way more complicated then that.

I saw that one coming, thanks for your help so far!
