If anyone is interested in making their own Game Boy game, I've been working on an open source game maker [0] that adds a UI around GBDK. I'm working on an updated replacement game engine [1] at the moment too that adds, among other things, support for flash cartridge saving (allows you to reflash cheap Pokémon carts), parallax backgrounds, large sprites and a stack based scripting language.

Wow! It's come a long way since I first heard about it and started messing around with it. I'll have to dig out the old source files I saved when I have some time. Good effort.
Thanks for your work. I've been messing about with GB studio for the last month. It's great
