What are you up to on April 12 or 26? If you said “I might be going out with a girl but I’d love to write video code for the Gameboy” then you’re in luck. NYC Resistor is holding a GB/GBA/DS hacking class in NYC.

Have you ever wanted to make a Gameboy game? Do you yearn for the days of yore when men were men and graphics code wrote directly to video memory? Have you ever wanted to tell a DMA controller who’s boss? Then c’mon down to my Gameboy programming classes! You’ll learn that, armed only with a laptop, an emulator, and some GNU tools you too can hack the Gameboy with the best of ‘em. Two sessions, two hours, too awesome! Get your tix and let’s get hacking!
