Hi, I know absolutely nothing about the proccess of making software for a gameboy, or anything else for that matter but i was wandering if anyone is aware of a pocket conversion of Microrose' "Pirates gold" either finished or in development. If not, is anyone out there up to the challenge :)

Have you heard of PocketNES? Pirates was released on the NES...

PocketNES is a GBA port of LoopyNES. As such, it won't properly display the graphics of NES programs that bankswitch VRAM in mid-scanline. Pirates! for NES does exactly this, possibly to foil pirates :-)
