Gameboy Color Boot ROM Dumped After 10 Years

Posted by Soulskill on from the what's-a-decade-among-friends dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Costis was able to dump the elusive boot ROM from the Gameboy Color by using various voltage and clock glitching tricks. The boot ROM is what initializes the Gameboy hardware, displays the 'GAMEBOY' logo and animation, and makes the trademarked 'cling!' sound effect. Even decapping the CPU had failed previously, but now the boot image and specifics on how it was dumped (along with many photos) are available for download."

    Correct, sir. "Why?" is a dumb shit question to ask. "Why not?" is not as dumb but twice as rhetorical. "How much bigger did your cock get?" is the correct question to ask.
