Basically, im learning to make my own *simple* gameboy games. Original, not Color or Advance. I understand you can buy bootleg carts from places like AliExpress or eBay, and flash ROMS onto it with something like a Joey Joebags, or Joey Jr. I want to do this with my games so i can have dedicated cartridges for them.
I want to buy a Bootleg Pokemon Crystal just because i really like those transparent blue boxy cartridges that Bootleg Crystals have. But what happens if i flash a Gameboy game, not a gameboy color game onto it? i assume it will run fine on a Gameboy Color, but will it run on a Gameboy DMG or Pocket? Im worried it would detect the cartridge as a gameboy color cartridge, even though it contains a regular gameboy (.gb) ROM.
I assume if the gameboy checks the ROM before loading, it presents the error if its a Color game. Although maybe it checks the cartridge itself before loading whatever ROM is on it
tl;dr if i flash an original gameboy game to a bootleg gameboy color game, will it run on an original gameboy?
