Tonc is my reasonably successful tutorial on GBA programming, covering
most aspects of the hardware in all its technical glory. Tonc explains
the GBA hardware in detail, and how you should and should not work
with it. Prior programming knowledge is required, an affinity for
mathematics is also recommended.
1.4 is the final version, but I will try to fix errors when they are found. Look in the errata for details.
(2018-06-24) A recent change in devkitArm (probably 48?) changed the way ctype.h works, resulting in a broken libtonc.a. To fix it, recompile libtonc manually. Go to the tonclib folder and do `make clean` and `make`. That should do it.
(2013-03-24) fixed for change in DKA r41 prefix (the arm-none-eabi thing).
(2012-05-20) alright, 1.4 was supposed the final version, but GCC 4.7 requires an extra line for assembly routines, so I had to check and fix a number of things. Code's at 1.4.1 now and the rest will follow soon (hopefully).

Current (and final) version: v1.4 / v1.4.2
Older versions:
NOTE. I've had a report a while back that the CHM version didn't work. The reason seems to be the silly security settings in Windows that block downloaded CHM files to open properly. If you get this too, open the file's properties and click `Unblock
