I know what you mean however there are alot of tutorials and I do not feel like making a list of them. First of what type of tutorial do you want. How advanced are you as in do you know C/C++ and what are you looking to program.
I am looking for a complete tutorial on how to make a full gba game. I am very extensive in c/c++. Just wondering where to get it.
Well if you know C/C++ very well then you are pretty much all set up. You do pretty much the same as a PC just different headers etc.., The only big difference is the compiler which there are only two that you can use (ARM which is a $6000 software package or GCC which is free) These three sites below will give you almost everything you will need.

I did some programming for the GBA and it can get rather pricey because of the Flash Card which can cost up to $200 plus the price of your GBA.

That is why I suggest the GP32 this system is a brilliant piece of hardware. Plus it uses SMC cards which can store 32MB of data and only costs around $20. Plus it is a lot easier to program for and GamePark released a public SDK kit. I would check that system out.

If you need some help LMK
www.thepernproject.com has some really great tutorials. I suggest that you check them out.
As for your question on when the gamedev series is goin to be done, and this is coming directly from the author(me):
I don''t know.
Things are getting busy and the technical stuff is getting more complex and harder to write information on concisely. I''ll still work at it, but don''t expect anything soon.
