This isn't a direct answer to your question because I am not OP and I do not know what docs they read but there is a book out called "Game Boy Coding Adventure: Learn Assembly and Master the Original 8-Bit Handheld" that came out last year.

Worth mentioning these books for retro game dev, c64 and nes.

He is really helpful on his discord channel too.

Awesome, I've been getting more into messing with the nuts and bolts of my childhood Gameboy Color, one project I want to eventually do is to recreate it with modern hardware, and then take something similar to GB Studio and embed it into the hardware so I can read cartridges straight to a custom built clone. I've seen some impressive clones already like FPGBC but I would love to build my own. It's a slow burn project, but I also am fascinated by emulators for the platform as well.
I wrote GB Studio, meant to say GB Operator. ;)
