GB Studio

App

Create games for your Game Boy

GB Studio lets you build original Game Boy games with a visual editor for scenes, characters, events and music. Export your project as a ROM, test it on your computer and copy it to a compatible flash cartridge for a Game Boy or Game Boy Color.

Install the desktop app on Windows, macOS or Linux. Choose a game mode that matches your handheld and a flash cartridge that supports the project’s size; a cartridge writer may also be needed. Game Boy micro cannot run these Game Boy or Game Boy Color cartridges.
