Very comprehensive resource for someone trying to get into rom hacking in general.

The GBATEK specification [0] mentioned several times in the guide (not limited to the GBA, it also covers Nintendo DS, DSi and 3DS) feels like a real treasure trove of technical data.

That page was written by Martin Korth (aka nocash) as he developed the no$gba emulator. He has a similar page for the PlayStation 1 [1] and prior to that he wrote one for the original Gameboy [2]; both have since been forked and maintained by other people [3]. He is currently homeless and accepting donations, so if anybody finds these pages useful consider donating.
