Playable Quotes for Game Boy Games
summary
A working prototype extracts tiny, runnable slices of Game Boy ROMs so moments become a playable quote rather than a giant video clip — typical quotes touch about 5% of ROM (sometimes ~2%), export as a ZIP with masked ROM, save state, and input log, and are embedded as a steganographic PNG served to a web player. Tooling includes Pi Boy, Game Boy Online, JS Proxy hooks, web components, and binary instrumentation for larger VMs; prototypes are online (tenmile.quote.games, m2.quote.games) and demonstrably work.
