I'm going to start ripping Game Boy games soon, so I have a couple of questions for Dazz and tSR in general. First off, why are the Game Boy games that are already on tSR ripped in B&W? Doesn't the Game Boy run games with a slight green color, or is that just a screen tint and some sort of technical explanation that I'm obviously ignorant of? Secondly, would you prefer I rip them in B&W or the green color? Thirdly, will I get bonus points for ripping the game in color as well?
First one I imagine that it is a screen related thing (developers probably still draw in black, white and grey since it is easier to see but not sure unless I ask a GB developer or in the rare case of Spirou/Tintin in Tibet where the game has code to run whether in GB colour mode or Game Gear colour mode - read about that on SMS Power). Second is to rip in B&W, that way it is easier to use but people have ripped using the green screen before so I don't really know and thirdly....
Only rip a game in colour if the game supports Super Game Boy mode (such as Donkey Kong) or a game was released on both the GB and the GBC (like Link's Awakening, Game & Watch Gallery 2 in the case of the latter different sprites between GB and GBC as I discovered).
