can we develop for Sega GameGear?

i’m getting use to develop for z80-based hardware using Boriel’s ZX-Basic Compiler, and Sega GameGear one of them

GameGear has the same display resolution, and i guess it’s simple to create 4-colour games there

i’m struggling to develop for GameBoy directly because its cpu more based on 8080, and i’m struggling to avoid using z80 opcodes that are not used on GameBoy’s cpu

the idea is, as soon as i can (or someone can), to port the GameGear version to GameBoy

so i guess there are no problems?

Hi Nitrofurano,


This is unconventional but totally allowed!
As you say, be sure to stick to the right resolution and 4 colour palette.

Also, I wouldn't worry too much about porting it across and instead focus on making a cool game  (you can port after the deadline!)

Thanks
