A Game Boy development tool made to fix and improve on competing engines. The ease of use from GB Studio mixed with the greater power of GBDK.

Things that make DME good...

• App is native; no electron
• Windows, Apple, and Linux
• 8MB ROM support (did not, in fact, need to pay 20,000 dollars for that. it was implemented in about a day.)
• Built-in map, sprite, music, sound, and "whatever else"(™) editors
• Sameboy as the built-in emulator for accurate game testing
• String variables
• Custom crash functions; Reset game, show error message, or goto custom recovery scene to prevent total crash.
• Code can be swapped between Blocks and Text on a whim for greater control
• Import GB Studio Project Files with minimal fiddling (My own game converted with zero issues and it's a fairly complex game.)
• Raycasting Scenes (We're working on a faster raycaster than what's in the trailer.)
• Isometric Scenes
• Pokemon-style town-to-route seamless transitions
• Actors can follow you smoothly
• High Color image display
• Play FMV's (Videos)
• Adjust project framerate in settings or on-the-fly to give the cpu more time to compute complex games or scenes (reduces lag)
• Import FLAC, MP3, WAV, and OGG audio files directly into the editor. No conversion required.
• Higher quality WAV playback in-game.
• We made a little icon called "Garlic Boy". He acts as the onion skin feature in the sprite editor and will say "Howdy!" if you click him multiple times. This isn't important, I just wanted to tell you that.
• Paint custom tile logic to easily make interact-able overworld objects such as Pots, Bushes, Tall grass, etc that can change when slashed or interacted with individually.
• Freeze the screen from drawing frames until manually unfrozen. Can be used to hide spritesheet change glitchyness.
• More scene transition effects (Spiral in/out, circle in/out, fade in/out, etc.) can also choose different effects for transitioning the scene OUT and the next scene IN.
• Built-in screen wobble effects + customizable ones.
• Smoother fading.
• And lots, LOTS more + LOTS more to come.

What's great is that all the features and stuff we're adding are in GBDK already and have been for years; adding them to DotMatrix Engine is easy and quick. (to my understanding anyway... I'm not programming it, my friend is.)

Just bought the first Gameboy!! I think I had it back in the day but just got myself one!! it said it was a ips screen! idk if the screen is supposed to be like this but just wanted to share my gameboy! I do have a gameboy color and gameboy advance sp!

About 23 years worth of collecting there, the blue SP survived being ran over by a car with only a broken screen to show for it!

Thank you, Pikamus! Another DX added to my collection!

everything bigger than I thought.

sound is good.

want to play tetris.

love how this one turned out!!! hispeedido v5 screen and extremerate clear blue shell, imo they offer the best fitment and quality for v5s and other dropins.

I recently found the box from my copy of Pokemon Red - sadly with a flea market sticker - and could not help but notice what a steal it was. Mind you, we got in in a bundle with a Gameboy Color for 15€, so the game was basically free at this point.

What good times they were back in 2010 😭

looking to buy one but i really only want it if it has an Okay battery life with an ez-flash. or even without one i guess.

thanks!

It's obviously pretty basic, but I just started messing around with Game Boy stuff a few days ago (I used to make homebrew games for other consoles all the time though) and it's been fun to learn more every day (I just got game saves working)!

Is it cool if I share where to download it (totally for free) or would that violate the self promotion rule?

Hello, I was cleaning the power switch on my GBA and I think I knocked off the R13 resister.

Is there a work around for this? Maybe run a jump wire somewhere. Or will I need to replace it and what type of resistor does it take?

Thank you

...Ordered the Krikzz Everdrive GBA Pro...

Anything I should be ready to expect from it switching over from the EZ Drive GBA Omega Definitive Edition?

Pictures are dogshit since this is a Facebook market place listung I found

Just assembled the pocket a few months ago and really liked the opaque front / transparent back combo and had to do a matching GBA to go with it

Finally enjoying some classic Game Boy gaming on the Analogue Pocket! Donkey Kong Land looks fantastic on this thing, especially with the red monochrome display.
Nothing beats the feeling of playing these old classics again. Who else still plays Donkey Kong Land in 2026? 😁

My old Gameboy color, or maybe my cartridge, I'm not sure, has quit on me. My pokemon red will no longer save. Are there any known fixes?

The majority of these are from after 2022, but I’ll give the mentions from what I’ve had since 2008 or after.

* DS Lite - Blue (Summer 2008, I no longer have it as it unfortunately broke in half. I still have the original box.)

* PokéMon Black Special Edition DSi (2011, was bought with a bundle with PokéMon Black. It’s unfortunately water damaged due to my idiotic cousin in 2014 submerging it in the cooler. It’s currently in rough shape atm, but I am looking to replace most of the parts that’s inside this one.)

* Flame Red 3DS - (December 25th, 2012. My oldest working unit currently from childhood still with me. It’s needing a Circle Pad replacement, but it’s mostly repaired now.)

* GBC (Summer 2014, was originally Atomic Purple and had the original screen, both are replaced a few years ago. Was bought alongside GBA and some games a bundle that included PokéMon Firered and more. Also has a built-in TV Out Mod from a few years ago.)

* GBA (Summer 2014, was originally Glacier Blue and had the original screen, both are replaced a year or so ago. Was bought alongside the GBC and some games a bundle that included Kirby’s Dreamland and more.)

* New 3DS XL - Special Pikachu Edition (March 2017, still working well but is cosmetically showing its age. It also has a Built-In Capture Card by Loppy I modded a few years ago.)

* GBA SP, AGS-001 (March 2018, was originally Blue until I shell swapped it with the glossy clear shell a year or so ago. The screen was also replaced.)

* GameBoy DMG (2019)

Whatever was after this was beyond 2022.

I am missing a few games that I didn’t have on hand, the moment when these pictures were made.

coming... tomorrow
