OffTopic > What happened to Gbaguy ?

Maybe this happened a while ago, and I missed it, but I have been working on my coding chops lately, getting ready for GBA dev. I noticed gbaguy's asm tuts on his web site, which now seem to be gone !?!? Is there an alternate location for his tutorials ? Is he gone ? Eaten alive by koopas ?

Yes, I know, assembler is not totally necessary for game dev, but he explained it in such a way that people who had general knowledge of another programming language (such as myself) could understand him. I bookmarked the page, but my bookmark stopped working....

EDIT : I have just found parts of his website using Google cache and the Wayback machine, but still, I would like to know where his current site is.... if any....

Gbaguy's tutorials for NES asm were deemed unreliable. Were his tutorials for GBA asm any better?

Hi, I?m also searching for some ARM assembly tutorials for a long time now and maybe gbaguy?s tut?s where not the best tutorials, but they where the only ones I could find on the www, is there a good source?

I really like to learn some asm! (devkitPro's assembler)

I found some nice little asm demo game on http://etk.scener.org/ with sources, but no info on how to assemble them or what devkit or assembler was used.

I really hope that some gbadev genius can point me/us in the good direction ;)

thank's and greetings xampi

Well your best bet might be to learn assembler if you have not already. For that I suggest using rosasm - as it is a true one click asm environment.

In all honesty it is too late in the evening for me to google for the best tutorials for you to learn assembler - especially since I have no idea of your experience and understanding.

@keldon - that's cool, I sort of did that already as well - nothing quite like the gbaguy tutorial. If you are interested, I have posted an introduction of myself in Announcements, but basically I have coded for the Apple IIe, and I also know VB, Pascal, Javascript. Of course, I am new to the GBA side of things, but hey, thanks for the link !

GBATek Reference
asm tut 1
asm tut 2
asm tut 3

I got the asm tutorials from devrs.com/gba. In general you will need gbatek as a reference, and those tutorials should guide you into setting up an environment, etc.
