Keitai Denjuu Telefang (携帯電獣テレファング)

This is a partial disassembly of Keitai Denjuu Telefang, a wonderful RPG and creature collection game for the Game Boy Color.

Fan Translation

The English fan translation can be found here, on the patch branch of this repository!

Problems

If you find any problems with the disassembly, or there's something you'd like changed or added, you can open an issue here on GitHub about it (or even fix it yourself and open a pull request, if you're feeling up to it).

Technical stuff

ROMs built

This disassembly builds the following ROMs:

• Keitai Denjuu Telefang: Power Version (telefang_pw.gbc, MD5 04f7ea139fef2bc2e3f70b2c23933d2e)
• Keitai Denjuu Telefang: Speed Version (telefang_sp.gbc, MD5 ebfe05828463cc004898e6a95ee57fea)

How to build

To build the finished ROMs, two base ROMs are required: baserom_pw.gbc (Power Version), baserom_sp.gbc (Speed Version).

After placing them in the top-level directory, you can check their hashes to make sure you've got the right files:

$ md5sum baserom_pw.gbc baserom_sp.gbc
04f7ea139fef2bc2e3f70b2c23933d2e  baserom_pw.gbc
ebfe05828463cc004898e6a95ee57fea  baserom_sp.gbc

If your Power Version base ROM has an MD5 hash of 8b0a1b6667040a52f6957c0eeea1dbd7, it's a known bad dump. In that case, replace it with a correct dump from a legitimate Keitai Denjuu Telefang Power Version cartridge.

Windows 10 and Linux

If you're on Windows 10 or higher, you'll first of all have to install and use the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

The following needs to be installed in order to build:

• Python (on Linux or Windows with the Linux subsystem, it'll most likely already be installed)
• RGBDS version 0.3.6 (follow the instructions in the readme on the GitHub page to install)

Windows 8 and Lower

Download and install Cygwin with make, git, gcc-core and python3.

Download the Windows release of RGBDS and copy the exe and dll files into C:\cygwin64\usr\local\bin.

Build

Once that's all in order, just run make (or make -j4 if you don't have all day), and the finished ROMs will be built.
