hi

what does vblankInterrupt do? I've heard that ist related to the hardware or something along those lines, any answers

it is hardware interrupt that occurs when the vblank period starts. vblank is the period of time when the video hardware is not accessing vram to display the screen. you may want to look into interrupt service routines if you are not sure what they are - as it is not a concept unique to the gba/ds.
