I may have missed it in the post, but how is blue different than red? I realise that they have slightly different Pokemon, but is that enough to make the emulator run only blue?
Oops you're right, I should have mentioned that. Red works too, I just didn't want to write Blue/Red everwhere :)
In the spirit of the project I'm surprised you didn't pick "Red" because it's one fewer characters. :)
What about Yellow? If yes, you could shorted it as RBY which is more familiar to most old genners.
It probably needs less memory, since you only 8 bits to store blue but red needs 3.
I hope it's OK I blogged about your project!

Does the MissingNo glitch work?
Not sure, I think it should! Would be really cool if someone tried it out. I'm a little worried I didn't implement some necessary instructions/hardware features so the game isn't actually winnable :-}
Love the project. nostalgia++
