Nutki has released a new version of his Gameboy / Gameboy Colour Emulator for Nintendo DS:


Hello,

New lameboy release again. Still no sound and some games may run worse than before (I know of Montezumas Revange, reports on other broken comtibalibility comparing with 0.4 welcome). Some games may run too fast now (Bomb Jack runs up to 120 fps).
Sound is somehow tricky as I would have to deal with arm7 programming and there was no sound support in the original PC version of Lameboy.

Changelog follows:

0.5
- changed: new faster display method (with triple buffering), may cause visual
glitches with games using pallette based effects
- added: fps display
- fixed(?): video modes emulation, helps for some games but messes with others
- added: rom selection menu sorting, key repeat and position history
- fixed: inverted GBC sprite priorities

Haha, I'm just gonna wait until the next version. My games all work fine (Except Dragon Warrior 3. it won' teven load) and most of them run at about 80-100 percent speed so I'm ok. If there's no sound and more games are messing up than being fixed, there's no real reason to download. Anyone have any possitives to say about it?

Well, sprite priority seems fixed. At least the grass on Link's Awakening pops above Link rather than below.

forget sound! add in some saving... or make it open source so I can add saving!

There is saving, but like you said some games don't work with it. Pokemon Red/Blue save fine for me, but apparently Gold/Silver are known to have issues, probably due to the RTC or something.

EDIT: hm, at http://ds-scene.net/forum/pforum.php?act=1&publicforum=5&topic=696&page=3 a user reports saving working fine for Gold/Silver. Wonder what the issue is then. I've actually never played G/S so I've never tested it here on Lameboy.

This is actually a good update.Yep they must fix the saves,although super mario land 2 saves perfectly,but if you say there are issues then they must be fixed.Then comes the glitches that are in some games.They must fix these too.And finnally the sound.I don't think it is needed actually,because it isn't the best to hear some blips...
