PSP-gnuboy (Gameboy Colour Emulator for PSP)

An entry in the Neoflash Coding Comp, heres the details:

HamsterBert posted this:

PSP-gnuboy Release 1!
=====================

PSP-gnuboy is a port of the gameboy emulator gnuboy to
the psp.

Features:
- Support for Gameboy mono and Gameboy Color roms
- zip support
- Battery backup ram support - save your position in
games that support it e.g. Zelda, pokemon, etc
- Correct ratio'd graphics, hardware accelerated renderer
- 60fps on most games
- built in game select screen

Missing
- Sound
- More complete GUI
- Save states
- Cheat codes
- mappable controls
- Link up support

Installation:
=============
For 1.0 firmware:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Copy the contents of the 1.0 folder to your psps memory
stick.
This should give you a /PSP/GAME/gnuboy folder on your memory stick.
Copy your gameboy and gameboy color roms to your memory stick.
PSP-gnuboy has a file browser so you can copy the roms anywhere.
Personally I prefer to put them in the /GAME/PSP/gnuboy/roms/ folder.
Your roms can either be in .gb/.gbc/.rom/.zip format.
.zip is recommended as it takes less space.

For 1.5 firmware:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Copy the contents of the 1.5 folder to your psps memory stick.
This should give you a /PSP/GAME/gnuboy folder and a /PSP/GAME/gnuboy% folder
on your memory stick.
Copy your gameboy and gameboy color roms to your memory stick.
PSP-gnuboy has a file browser so you can copy the roms anywhere.
Personally I prefer to put them in the /GAME/PSP/gnuboy/roms/ folder.
Your roms can either be in .gb/.gbc/.rom/.zip format. .zip is
recommended as it takes less space.

For other firmware:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Currently I have been unable to test on any other firmwares
but if you have a psp that is supported by eboot loader
then please test this emulator with it and email me any problems etc
to: [email protected]

Controls:
=========

Filebrowser:
-=-=-=-=-=-=
Currently the file broweser is quite basic. Use the d-pad to move up and down, and the X button to select a file or folder.
Selecting ".." will make the filebrowser go back to the parent folder.

In-game:
-=-=-=-=

D-pad: Gameboys d-pad
X button: gameboys 'A' button
O button: Gameboys 'B' button
slect: Gameboys select button
start: Gameboys start button
Left Shoulder button: In-game gui.
Currently exit rom option only but this will change in the next version of PSP-gnuboy.

Contact me:
===========
Email: [email protected]

I am looking for webspace for my psp releases,
as well as a graphic artist to help with gui design.
If you can help, please email me!

PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR ROMS AS I CANNOT HELP YOU!

Thanks
-HamsterBert.

Exactly, this isn't about those so keep that shit to yourself.

I have yet to try one of these because I only have a couple games for it but maybe its time to check it out, this version looks pretty nice. :)

Hmmm.... its great and all that he made a game boy emulator n such. But don't you think RIN is already like top of the line. The only way somebody can make me interested in another game boy emualtor is if it supports ad hoc support.
Not trying to offend his work its just I don't think his work was necessary. If we already have a top of the line emulator for the PSP firmwares 1.0-2.6 just didn't seem necessary. But I would really hope that he would focus his energy on making a game boy advanced emulator becuase we do need one of those. Also if he would rather do game boy I think it would be a great idea if he helped make ad hoc support on the rin emulator :)

im trying to play dbz legendary super warriors but when it saves and quits, it does't have the continue button. IS there a place i should make a save folder because it makes the .sav file, but it doesnt load it.

has anyone else noticed that pokemon crystal still tracks time even when your not playing it? i havent tried it, but will it stop if you completely turn of your PSP?

Its because gameboy uses battery for their daylight saving time, and any gameboy emulator does that, even on my pc, even in shot down..
