Release your Album on the Game Boy Advance
January 13, 2026
Are you a Music-Spreadsheet Wizard?
Do you like your mods and its more than your wavs and mp3s?
Are you a fan of the limit, as opposed to the limitless?
Today I am introducing a project I've had on my mind for almost a year called TrackPak. TrackPak is a tool that converts your tracker music to an album that runs entirely on the Game Boy Advance.
TrackPak supports several customization options such as fonts, color schemes, and additional details about you and your music.
How does it work?#
Through the magic of Duct Tape and Prayers™, it's really just two parts:
- A Butano base/ project that handles the UI and music management
- an Express server that generates a C header for the base/ project, and starts the make process
That's literally it. Due to it's simplicity, I'll be releasing a standalone tool as well in the near future along with the base/ project that does all the foundational music and UI management.
