HISTORY

1997, Carsten Sørensen (AKA SurfSmurf) writes ASMotor as a general-purpose assembler/linker system for DOS/Win32.

1999, Justin Lloyd (AKA Otaku no Zoku) adapts ASMotor to read and produce GBZ80 assembly/machine code, and releases this version as RGBDS.

2009, Vegard Nossum adapts the code to be more UNIX-like and releases this version as rgbds-linux on GitHub.

2010, Anthony J. Bentley forks that repository. The fork becomes the reference implementation of rgbds.

2017, Bentley's repository is moved to a neutral name. It is now maintained by a number of contributors at https://github.com/rednex/rgbds.

2018, codebase relicensed under the MIT license.

2020, repository is moved to the gbdev organisation, at https://github.com/gbdev/rgbds. The https://rgbds.gbdev.io website serving documentation and downloads is created.
