I can't find a suitable Gameboy (color) emulator for my 6000L, i've tried GameBoyZ and it worked once, it showed the GBC rom in the middle of the screen and started the game and the pad an start button worked, with no sound. After that it just freeze my Z.
And i've tried GnuBoy for the Zaurus and the keys works perfectly, and also the sound but the video is weird, 4 little and stripped windows shows the game instead of a main window as GameBoyZ. What do you have tried and how do you make it work? |

I actually just started looking for a gameboy emulator last night, and ran in to the exact same problems you did. If I find a good one, I'll post it here, but if you find one first, please let me know. It'll save me some writes on my SD card

I'm running debian via X/Qt, and I just installed gnuboy-sdl and it seems to run just fine so far. Now I just have to map the hardware keys, and get the thing to scale - gameboy resolution on a 4in VGA screen is pretty darn small

Actually, it looks like VisualBoy Advance works way better then anything I've tried so far. - with the fast kernel & guylhems SDL, it runs at about full speed scaled x2

It's the regular ol' SDL 1.2 from debian testing, gunboy was the 'gnuboy-sdl' from testing also (1.0.3-1, I believe) - kernel is clocked up to 533. It runs just fine, but only at regular ol' gameboy resolution. I tried to speed it up a bit by taking the externe.net SDL and moving it over to my chrooted debian environment, but it doesn't seem to like that too much (mismatched GCC versions, I think) So, after reading some docs and finding out that Visualboy Advance plays GBA, GB, and GBC games, I gave that a shot, and it runs MUCH better. Nearly full speed running a regular GB game at 2x resolution. GBA emulation is a little bit slower, but still playable on most games. I haven't quite figured out how to save state yet though - the docs I've read say it's mapped to F12, but the zaurus doesn't have an F12, so I need to figure out how to remap it. -ross |
