hardware.inc has been the standard include file containing Game Boy hardware definitions for use in rgbds projects for over 20 years.
This repo is an attempt at version control. This is simply a kind of git mirror of the various flatfiles out there. I haven't written any of the actual code myself.
The file was originally created by Jeff Frohwein in 1997, who still hosts his latest version (2.3) on his great Dev'rs website.
Although Jeff Frohwein tried to version control the file with a rudimentary change log at the top of the file, people have added small changes throughout the years, often without bumping the version number.
The most notable fork is by @AntonioND, which is the one I've used as the mainline in this repo. Other forks will be added as branches, although I rarely know who made them.
- Jones (created the original
hardware.inc, now lost) - Carsten Sorenson (whose ideas Jeff based his file on)
- Jeff Frohwein
- AntonioND
- Probably lots of other people who have added to the file throughout the years
