Yo!

A while ago, I had come across a version of the Gambatte Game Boy and Game Boy Color emulator. I loved it. It ran sooo well on my 770 that I was actually able to use it to play games. (Thank you dblank! Original post is here if you wish to say Thanks.)

So, I decided to make a super-simple frontend and to package it for everyone to enjoy. (Package. by. hand. directory. by. directory. file. by. file. damnedable. scratchbox!^%&@(@)

^^''

Ok, so, here, this is the package PyBoy which contains Gambatte and my little frontend, all of my code is GPL'd:

cool, installing it now, gonna check it out.

thanx Aisu!....wondering which ROMS work well with this??...are they playable?


Thanx!

cool dude. Thanks for that. I'm going to try and adapt this to the XO laptop.

No problem! There is a bug, though... ROMs with special chars in the name won't load... So please rename them to alpha numerics until I get a fix, sorry

All gameboy and color roms will run fine

Perhaps I'm doing something completely ******ed, but I can't seem to use this.

I took the advice of removing "special characters", removed any dashes, spaces, etc (the file is just a single word, thats it, I also tried just making it a number). I've tried this with both .gb and .gbc.

I select the game, select the size (another recommendation you made elsewhere for it to work), and then click start, but to no avail, it just won't start.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help

Edit: I got it past the clicking "start" stage, but what now happens is i just run into a black screen with a white box, and it stays there. Any ideas?

Are you running a gb advanced rom? Gambatte only handle up to gb color.. Other than that, the only thing I could do is take a look at the rom (maybe it's corrupted?).

Aisu,

I finally got it work (except at 4x screen size, but thats not a huge deal). I downloaded the version in this thread, uninstalled the other version I had (perhaps they were the same, I didn't bother to check, I figure they were), and installed this one to get it to work. So I suppose a simple reinstall did the trick.

Now just a question on the program itself: Does sound work like its supposed to? Because the sound on mine does, to an extent, but it keeps repeating the same old noise previously played ontop of new noises. Perhaps its a problem with the ROM, but they seem to all do this.

Thanks for your time by the way

That's a question for the Gambatte developers or maintainers... I just made the front end and packaged it ^^'''

Hah alright, thanks anyways, sound isn't tottaly important anyways. I'll survive for now
