ROM Hack GBC: mattcurrie save state patches, now for Gameboy Color games

[Titney]

mattcurrie has updated his save states project to support Gameboy Color games. The patches for color games require a flash cart that supports 128KB sram (while original Gameboy game patches only require 32KB.)

I had meant to investigate the older stuff (it is hard to do in flash carts so this is the main viable route) but had not really gone there.

Always nice to see things like this added to ROMs. Wonder if I could twist it to have some measure of cheat support made at least somewhat generic for these games if entry points and a button watcher are available.

Bumping this to say matt has released a few more patches, most notably Legend of Zelda - Link's Awakening DX and Donkey Kong Land 2-3. The latest patches can be found here:

It's also possible to request new patches by posting an issue:

(But keep in mind he's just one guy so it might take a while. Also the remaining Zelda color games and color Pokemon games have already been requested but have some complicating issues.)
