GameBoy ROM Extraction

No ratings

Presented at REcon 2024 by

The Game Boy has a mask ROM bootloader that validates the Nintendo logo in the cartridge, then disables itself before executing the cartridge memory, making it difficult to extract. In this workshop, we'll begin with a die photograph of the console's CPU, then use Mask ROM Tool to annotate and decode bits. By the end of the workshop, you will have made a ROM image suitable for emulation or disassembly.
