Gnuboy Gameboy/Gameboy Color Emulator for XBox v4

Put roms in \GBROMS

Sorry to burst someone's bubble - but this Gnuboy port has been out for
a couple weeks already...and it accurately emulates pretty much every
single GB/GBC game with full sound.  So here's what's new in version
*four* of the first GB/GBC emu for XBox.

What's New:

Save States
All the other UI stuff to bring it in line with the other emus

The GNUBOY.INI file can now be written automatically from inside the emulator.
To configure Gnuboy, press the Left Thumbstick.  This will let you select
the font height and the menu text offset.

*This will also let you resize and reposition the game screen to whatever you want*

You can make the gamescreen as big or as small as you like and reposition it anywhere.

When you make your changes, it will rewrite the GNUBOY.INI file (if it was loaded from
the XBox hard drive)  If you are running the emulator from a CD/DVD media, you'll
have to construct your own GNUBOY.INI file and write it to the root directory.

The structure of the GNUBOY.INI file is as follows:

# # # # # #

Each # represents a number.  They are as follows:

First #  - Text offset
Second # - Font height
Third #  - Game screen X position
Fourth # - Game screen Y position
Fifth #  - Game screen width
Sixth #  - Game screen height

So, for example, your GNUBOY.INI file might look like this:

0 12 10 20 630 450

This would mean:

Text offset = 0
Font height = 12
Game screen upper left hand corner position (x,y) = (10,20)
Game screen width = 630
Game screen height = 450

**YOU MUST HAVE A SPACE CHARACTER AFTER THE LAST NUMBER IN THE INI FILE!**

I've included an example GNUBOY.INI file.

Enjoy!

Gnuboy Gameboy/Gameboy Color Emulator for XBox v3


OK, when I said perfect sound, I meant perfect for NTSC users.  PAL systems don't count. :P

The directory is still \GBROMS - ok?  \GBROMS

\GBROMS
\GBROMS
\GBROMS

Now stop asking.

What's New:

Fixed timing bug (resulting in crappy sound and stuttering emulation) for PAL users
Shows number of ROMs found
Allows you to reload the list
Can quit the application and return to the Dashboard
Minor tweaks.

That's all - expect another emulated system soon!

Gnuboy Gameboy/Gameboy Color Emulator for XBox v2


First off, the directory to put the games in is \GBROMS
Why can't everyone be psychic like me?  :P

What's New:

Sound is working perfectly now.  :)  (Had to rewrite all the DirectSound routines)
Added support for ZIP files
Included unpatched XBE (gnuboy.bak)
Added "loading" screens
Now using a smaller font for the game listing so the long names can fit on screen
Removed extra lines on right and bottom of game screen
Made game names all lower case
Lots of other little things

Compatibility as good as Gnuboy (which is pretty much everything) and
all games run at 60fps with full sound.


I didn't mention it last time, but all sorts of thanks and appreciation
must go out to the developers of Gnuboy.  It's quite an excellent emulator.

Gnuboy Gameboy/Gameboy Color Emulator for XBox v1

I added Gameshark functionality to Gnuboy as well as a custom cheat-code
searching engine.  It's a little clumsy, but it gets the job done.

Oh - if you're inputting gameshark codes, don't worry about the first two
digits.  For example, if you see a gameshark code called "910599c3"
go ahead and put in "010599c3".  It should have the same effect.

TODO: Add support for ZIP files
      Fix sound - same kind of problem as with Stella - really annoying

If all the GB/GBC roms cannot fit on a DVD-R, then I'll definitely add ZIP
file support.  I'm almost positive they'll fit uncompressed, however.

Enjoy!
