What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps developers debug and trace Game Boy family games by leveraging the Gearboy MCP server. It provides structured workflows to control execution, inspect the SM83 CPU and hardware, manage breakpoints, read memory, disassemble code, trace instructions, and analyze rendering/timing issues, enabling efficient diagnosis and reverse engineering.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Control execution: pause, step, and breakpoints across GB/GBC/SGB using the MCP server.
- Inspect hardware state: read CPU registers, LCD, APU, SGB, and memory areas.
- Disassembly & tracing: disassemble code, view call stacks, set breakpoints, and capture trace logs.
- Time travel debugging: rewind snapshots to compare states and verify fixes.
- Use cases: debugging homebrew, reverse engineering game logic, diagnosing graphics or audio issues.
Quick Start
Launch Gearboy as an MCP server, connect your AI client, load a ROM, then pause or step to begin debugging.
