GB/GBC emulator

[Trinitis]

Hey folks. I've been fighting with this for a few weeks now. I can't seem to find a GB/GBC emulator that works well.


Gnuboy-EX : First load it spent like 3 min capturing all my roms. But never boots with a list of roms to play, and if I press any button it closes the program and goes back to my desktop.


Ohboy : I've not tried it yet due to it's lack of sound.


Gnuboy : It boots with a tiny screen in the middle of the pandy screen. I've tried changing the options to full screen, etc. Nothing seems to work to fix this. Also, sometimes the border of the tiny screen flickers and then I lose the video period.


Anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or have any additional ideas? All of the emulators were snagged from the repo.


Thanks,


Trinitis

find a good vba port. vba will probaby be the best emulator for gb/gbc

Does this just install onto the pandy? I only really have expereince with .pnd files so far.

Hmm just looking at the project details box it says it uses OpenGL and assembly... needless to say those don't play nice with the pandora

have you tried mednafen?

I almost succeeded in compiling it under Slackware.

Ah ? I didn't know that...

VBAs can play GB roms too ?


If that's the case gpSP is probably a good option.

 

[slaeshjag]

gpSP is GBA only

Search for gngb. It's in a beta thread somewhere, not in the repo.

Latest version is in post #43.

Probably worth putting this on the emulator wiki ?

 

[gruso]

Definitely.

I've been playing quite a lot of GnuBoy lately, with no problems at all. The image is of course aspect correct, which means it is more or less full height but with substantive black borders to the left and right, but apart from that it works quite well. Doesn't work with "Shantae" and "Wendy - Every witch way" but I've been told that is fairly common. What version are you using? (mine is called sdlgnuboy.pnd if I'm not mistaken, and uses Picklelauncher).

 

[gruso]

^ Ah yes - I remember talk of different versions of Gnuboy, one with the stuck-at-postage-stamp-size issue. Not where the good/bad versions had come from.

I did, however, upgrade my version of GnGB to the latest on the repo, and now that stopped working instead. There are little goblins inside my pandora.
