I've got the same issue as pwsn - using a gameboy colour rom, downloaded from coolrom.

Hmm, that's no good, what OS/model are you running. Also, do either of you know your way around the command line? That would be the best way to figure this out.

Are you guys trying to run a .zip rom? If so, that won't work. You'll need to run the extracted file.

Well basically you just need to run two commands:

1. sdlgnuboy

It should print out some usage information.

2. sdlgnuboy --source /etc/gnuboy.rc --scale=1 /path/to/rom

The main thing here is for you to get the path to your rom correct. By running these from the command line we can see any error messages.

It's possible the problem is because of os2008, I'm running 2007, but as far as I can tell it shouldn't depend on anything that isn't in both.

Aha, I think I may have it, do you have special characters or spaces in the ROM name? I renamed all mine to simple short words while testing. Try renaming yours to just alphanumeric characters. I'll have a fiddle with PyBoy to see where the problem is.

[Edit] Heres a new version, I've fixed up PyBoy to deal with filenames with spaces, also got rid of that annoying crash when you try and select a different file. Here it is:

I fixed the filenames and it works great! Way better than VBA. Any chance in a blue moon of you doing a GBA emu? Cause this one kicks ***.
