Droneboy

Drone music application for Game Boys. Droneboy creates endless tones or drones on the Gameboys four channels. You can manipulate volume, duty and frequency and play and sequence chords. It is also MIDI compatible using an Arduinoboy.

Don't have a real Gameboy and flashcart?

There are numerous emulators for the Gameboy these days. The Droneboy ROM was developed using BGB, SameBoy and Emoulicious. Get one of them and download the latest release (see the "Releases" section on the right). You can also try Droneboy in your browser over at https://hh.gbdev.io/game/droneboy.

Easy version

This project started as a learning experience and the code was kept fairly simple for clarity. The "easy to understand" version has been frozen in the easy folder (and will be moved out shortly) for anyone starting out with c and gbdk programming to check out. Going forward, there will be more "advanced" features used that might be a bit intimidating to beginners.
