The source code of the songs, player and tools that power D-Pad Hero has been released. See the video on YouTube for more information.
If you’re a fan of retro gaming (and why would you be here otherwise, unless you’re a spam bot?) on any or all platforms (including new ones like iPhone), I recommend checking out Retro Gamer magazine (http://retrogamer.net). Find out about the history and making of classic games, read interviews with the game developers, get up-to-date on uncurrent (80s/90s) events in gaming… There’s even a section dedicated to homebrew games (D-Pad Hero was reviewed in the “Game Boy issue”).
Receiving RG in the mail is the highlight of the month. If you’re looking for ways to enrich your oldskool life, “This Is It”(tm).

If you download and play the ROM, you can use the D-Pad to turn sound channels on/off. OK, it’s not exactly D-Pad Hero 2, but I find it fun nonetheless.
