You can find the source code and rom file in the "more info" section, beside the video. There is a link to my dev-fr blog. Also, in my blog, there are some other reccent projects I did and work on like the 10 years anniversary special with a giant cake and the port I'm trying to do of my ColecoVision dev kit to be used with SDCC instead of Hi-Tech C.

To answer some of your questions you may have : No, I didn't use specific tools to make this "thank you video" project. To compose the music, I used my documentation and a lot of time coding each note one by one, and tested the result with the standalone version of my OS7 Sound Bank application. The graphics was converted and reconverted again with my actual bitmap graphic tools, but the result was modified by hand to keep only 64x48 pixels instead of the entire screen (256x192). So it was a lot of work for this project, and I hope to find a way to migrate my tools for the new kit and after that making even more cool tools to make this project look very simple indeed. And yes I will do a few cartridges of this, based strickly on the demand, I'm not going to do a production of it, it's not a game after all.
