No screenshots, no new information, and itโ€™s been a very long time since RaichuBender has said anything. I think this project is dead.
Not to be rude, but it's just been 3 months. Think about it, unless you've had time devoted on working it, you'd have to do other things, like school, work, or other factors that can get in the way of development. I think RaichuBender has other things to do than working on SmileBOY 24/7, so that's why it's probably taking a long time ๐Ÿ˜†. I think this might explain the lack of updates too, maybe he wasn't able to get much done because of other things. Maybe I'm wrong though, I'm not really sure. It's cool that CoinzReturns is working on an emulator in the meantime, I'm looking forward to seeing that one too!

While RaichuBender does happen to have a life as I am sure everyone does, it is sort of looking like a dead project. I say dead because we don't hear about updates, we don't hear anything. Then 5-6 months go by and we get a few screenshots showing tiles. I know RaichuBender was working hard on SmileBoy but it doesn't really appear like he's even willing to give out the code or come back to tell us he's not working on it anymore. Either way it doesn't matter it's his life he is allowed to have a life. Like many of us here, but I don't think that being negative about it will lead anywhere or saying 'well this is concerning'. I do hope he comes back though, and not because I want him to finish SmileBoy but cause I thought he was cool.

Yeah, I hope he comes back too. Hopefully we'll hear from him soon. An update on SmileBOY would be a nice comeback (not that that's the main reason he should come back ๐Ÿ˜‚). If he does give us an update though, hopefully he'll give us what he has so far so we can try out an early build of it before release.

Any news on SmileBOY? If it's not ready yet, I'd like to test it out anyway!

Cool stuff! Do you know of any good tutorials for graphics? I also donโ€™t think the half-carry flag was wired on the GameBoy.
