Does anyone have technical information on the handheld games machine made by
Nintendo that would enable me to program the thing!?

I imagine that I'm not the only person that consider that the Game Boy has a
lot of potential for both game and other applications. Nintendo here in Germany
would not give out any info.

The type of things that would be helpful are :-

    1) What processor does it use? (eg Z80 type?) I've looked inside & can not
suss the type!
    2) What are the connections to the program cartridge & what are the limit-
ations (memory size etc).
    3) Has anyone figured a memory map + what each location does.
    4) How to drive the display...?

We may have a go at de-engineering the thing this week end but I suspect it wil
l take a lot longer than that before we get any info that is enough to make the
thing of any use. Any way... if anyone has anything at all please E-MAIL it...

Thanks in advance!
