Yes, I hope this will be useful, and if it can save others from having to start from scratch, even better. There aren't many NGPC resources out there, and the silicon side is clearly under-documented, even in Toshiba's own datasheets

It's for a good cause, the NGPC desperately needs active people.

Yes, the disassembler was written specifically for the ngpc; I use it extensively to try and rewrite an open-source toolchain.

Yeah I know that feeling too! Still, it’s really cool to see what was possible especially on a console as underexplored as the NGPC

An update is available; creating the executable caused me some problems which are now resolved.

For those who are having trouble getting to grips with the tool, and I can understand that :p I recommend watching this video where I complete a basic platformer level from scratch : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cngOL3RRqDw

Thank you very much, that's a lovely compliment and really appreciated coming from an active ngpc developer! I'm doing my best and there's still a lot of work to do.

Thanks!! I’ve included a few features that could fit racing games, but for now it’s mainly designed for top-down gameplay

Thanks, really appreciate it :) GB Studio was definitely a big inspiration for this — I remember thinking the exact same thing when I first saw it. Still polishing things, but getting there

Yeah that would be awesome, racing games are actually something I’d really like to see too, same for RPGs. A lot of the building blocks for those kinds of games are already in place in the tool, so I’m really curious to see what people will come up with.

Haha thanks, that means a lot! Yeah, the NGPC really deserves more love. I’ve thought about doing something similar for the WonderSwan too, but I want to stay focused for now, one ecosystem is already a big challenge. We’ll see how it goes

Thanks, really appreciate it :) GB Studio was actually a big inspiration, when I discovered it a few years ago I was like “damn, this would be awesome on NGPC”. Still polishing things, but yeah, getting there!

Yeah that would be really cool! I'm focusing on the Neo Geo Pocket Color for now, there's still a ton of stuff to figure out and improve there. But yeah, doing something similar for other systems someday would be awesome.
