You learn something new a lot
Perhaps not every single day.
I am working on a Game Boy game with multiple banks. Yet the ROM size finder only showed 1 bank., even though I had stuff in 3 out of the 4 banks. Since I learned how to put "#pragma bank x" to put data in a certain bank, I thought I'd try it with the code for the game. And yes, it works. And now the ROM size finder shows all 3 banks I have stuff in.
Before I did that, I guess the compiler just shoved everything into one bank. Since I did that, I freed up way more room in bank 0. And I spent hours last night trying to get music to play in a different bank. I finally got it to work and went to sleep at around 3:30 a.m. I woke up and returned working on it. I'm trying to make the game be compatible with Game Boy Color as well as regular Game Boy. I have it working so far.
And I thought my computer was on its last legs since it was acting very slow, and it told me I had to update something even though I had just updated it the day before. But it now is working a little better and not being so slow. I got the thing in 2016, so it's nearing year #8, but I really don't want to go computer shopping so I'll keep working on it until it finally dies.
