pokegb-nix

A nixpkgs overlay for compiling/assembling Game Boy Pokémon ROMs.

Usage

If you have a Nix version with flake support, simply run a command like this:

nix build ".#pokegb/red" # builds Pokémon Red/Blue
nix build ".#pokegb/all" # builds all ROMs into one directory

For the legacy Nix UI you can use a command like this:

nix-build -E 'import <nixpkgs> { overlays = [ (import ./default.nix) ]; }' -A pokegb.red

If you do not allow unfree packages globally, you might have to run the command with the environment variable NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 set.

You can find a list of all packages provided by this overlay in default.nix.

FAQ

FireRed fails to build

For an unknown reason, FireRed fails to build sometimes without an error at arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary --gap-fill 0xFF --pad-to 0x9000000 pokefirered_rev1.elf pokefirered_rev1.gba. Restarting the build a few times should produce a succeeding build.
