For those of you who develop for the gameboy advance, can DarkBasic be used to program games for it?

i've still not seen it in a working state but CxBx seems to be one of the most promising underground utilities/emulators for achieveing this.

and yes you could... but only in the way that you could use VisualC++ to program DarkBasic programs, creating an editor for the language that you'll really be using

GBA uses C/C++ with Assembly from what i can gather, so your best bet is to try a GBA developers forum and ask there what your next step could be.

Darkbasic pro to xbox sounds perfectly feasable, though I'd like to know about any succesful experiments with this

right now there arn't any sucessful experiements other than DirectX9 win32 exe's to xbe's
and right now they're not perfect.

but CxBx is really doing some good strides to make this seem more and more possible by the day

Gameboy and gba development is limited to C and C++ search in Google, there are plenty of sites dedicated to making and tesing games with emulators. Good luck getting them published tho

There is actually a BASIC language development kit for the GBA. I cannot remember the name but I saw it on the Blitz forums a while back.

Hmm weird! I'd be interested to see that Obviously the majority of DARKbasic code wouldn't work in it but it'd b fun to play with

Oh and btw when I said you wouldn't be published, I wasn't commenting on any1s programming skills, its just almost impossible to get Nintendo to approve and back a project, and third party cartridges are illegal unless blank or imported

www.dragonbasic.com. Oh yes, another DB

It's pretty new, but it's looking promising.

Cheers
