Flash 2 Advance USB | if2a-0.2a.tar.gz deyv.free.fr/gba/f2a | 42.9k | David Gauchard | This is based on an older f2a usb linker for linux (see next entry). I haven't tested it (no hardware), but have been thinking about getting an f2a since they seem to work in linux. It has been reported to work properly. |

GmBaAp tile/map editor | http://gbafromscratch.sourceforge.net | kxu | GTK+ 2 gba tile/map editor, appears to be written in python french and English Most importantly it is GPL | |
Tile Max | Tile Max Site | Sean Reid | It's Java and the author of it tested in linux! More tools really should be written in Java (linux, Mac OSes, any other other decent os and windows all have java interpreters) Some of it's pluggins seem to be windows reliant (run external .exe's) | |
Gameboy Advance Map Editor (?) | http://gbamapedit.sourceforge.net | Stween | GTK+ 2 gba tile/map editor, written in c Most importantly it is GPL | |

Demos/Source/Tutorials | Links | Author | Note | |
The Programs (with source) from my learning | Demos | Zero | PSEUDO Tutorial alot slower/smaller steps than dovoto's (but that is what I read (along with cowbite) to make them) | |
The Pern Project Tutorials Example Source | Ports | Dovoto (ported: Zero) | All the ones for gcc that I found Works with the compiler we talk about here | |
Belogic Sound Exmaple Source | Ports | Uze (ported: Zero) | All of them! Works with the compiler we talk about here | |
Linux Distributions (that I recommend) | Links | Note | ||
Redhat Linux | Redhat Download Mirrors | I use rh9 currently. Start here if you are new to linux | ||
Debian GNU/Linux | Debian CD Downloads | Pure GNU/Linux at it's best I used to use Debian, but redhat is just easier... | ||
Links To Other Good Sites | Note | |||
The best collection of gba dev information around. | ||||
www.gbadev.org forums (many people have the same problems you do, and they have them resolved (most of the time) here). | ||||
