GB_OS

GB_OS is a Gameboy program that tries to simulate or recreate some of the main functions of an operating system. It was designed with the 90's software aesthetic in mind.

Because GB cartridges are read-only memory and GB_OS doesn't make use of battery saving, it isn't possible to make any permanent changes to the system, so it's similar to booting an OS directly from a CD drive.

It is one of my weirdest projects so far, but I'm really happy with how it turned out, especially considering how limited the Gameboy is.
