Overview

The "Maxstation" is a Game Boy clone, seen below next to a Game Boy Pocket.

Some observed characteristics

• Game Boy Pocket form factor
• DMG-like CPU
• Scrolls a "Loading..." logo on power-up instead of "Nintendo". It ignores the logo in cartridge header and will display it's own even if no cartridge is inserted.
• Runs too fast (~19.2% faster), as some other clones do
• Screen has significant motion blur
• Appears to have trouble powering on if connected to another powered-on Game Boy via Link Port
• Cartridge slot does not line up well with the case

There are markings on the cart slot ("GF Logo") which may link it to "Gang Feng" / "Kong Feng", the makers of the "GB Boy (Pocket)" and "GB Boy Colour" clones.

Maxstation Boot ROM

The boot ROM was dumped with help from nitro2k using the BennVenn clock glitch method.

The boot ROM is largely identical to the DMG one with a couple differences:

• Loads it's scrolling logo from the bootrom (itself) instead of from the cartridge header region
• Uses different logo data ("Loading...")
• Performs the logo and header checksum calculations, but skips the failure lockup tests
