# Game Boy
the Game Boy is one of the most successful portable game systems ever made.
it has stereo sound, two pulse channels, a wave channel and a noise channel.
## effects
- `10xx`: **change wave.**
- `11xx`: **set noise length.**
- `0`: long
- `1`: short
- `12xx`: **set duty cycle.**
- `0`: 12.5%
- `1`: 25%
- `2`: 50%
- `3`: 75%
- `13xy`: **setup sweep.** pulse 1 only.
- `x` is the time.
- `y` is the shift.
- set to `0` to disable it.
- `14xx`: **set sweep direction.** `0` is up and `1` is down.
## info
this chip uses the [Game Boy](../4-instrument/game-boy.md) instrument editor.
## chip config
the following options are available in the Chip Manager window:
- **Disable anti-click**: waveform switching requires a phase reset, which may cause clicks. Furnace uses a wave-position predicting algorithm to minimize these clicks. enable this option to disable it.
- **Chip revision**: sets the chip model to use. most of these lack audible difference, but Game Boy Advance fixed the wave channel's inversion.
- **Wave channel orientation**: allows you to set how is wave data written.
- in Game Boy:
- Exact data: wave data is written as-is. it will appear inverted in the output.
- Exact output: wave data is inverted so it appears correctly in the output.
- in Game Boy Advance:
- Normal: wave data is written as-is.
- Inverted: guess!
- **Pretty please**: only for compatibility with Synchronize.dmf. do not use.
