Emulation Still working on Goomba Color

Dwedit · Oct 30, 2014

Yes, it's been a long time, but the GBA is still a really nice emulation machine, much better than smartphones.
I've been working on Goomba Color again, mostly to try to get Shantae working at a nice playable speed, and I've pulled it off! Many speedhacks and code optimizations later, Shantae is decently playable on the GBA.
I've released a (buggy) test build, warning, it may be buggy.

It is pretty cool to see people working on the GBA, it still is pretty useful.

Great to see you on here Dwedit, and even happier makes me the news that you're still working on Goomba Color!

Definitely my favourite GB emu of all times

Too bad I don't have my GBAs with me, otherwise I'd have given this a spin immediately!

thaddius · Oct 30, 2014

Awesome! Can't wait to test it out!

Sakitoshi · Oct 30, 2014

WOW!! I'm gonna test it right now. nice work!!

EDIT: tested it and works excelent.
Dwedit : for the crashes you mention in the pocket heaven thread, that's normal at least on Wendy, I have played it on an EMS GB Smartcard and sometimes a note get stuck and/or crash when you beat the level.

Dwedit · Oct 31, 2014

File recently updated...

reprep · Oct 31, 2014

Wow, i read you will be working on savestates Dwedit. Thanks a lot. I hope you will succeed, it will make my gba micro ultimate gaming machine. You are giving back the backwards compatibility ninty took from us.

TecXero · Nov 26, 2014

I'm surprised you're still working on this. Just for old times sake, I loaded this up on my Micro. Great job.

Smartphones are better emulation machines if you have a BT gamepad

That said, I love the GBA and Goomba Color always impressed me with its features and speed. Used that quite a lot when the GBA was my primary handheld gaming machine. Nice to see you're still working on it

Bart Lemming · Nov 30, 2014

I haven't been here for a few months so it was a pleasant surprise to see that Goomba Color lives!

You've made me and my GB Micro very happy.

Thanks for sharing and the best of luck with your continuing work.

Dwedit · Dec 3, 2014

And a new version has been released! It's REALLY fast now...

Dwedit · Dec 3, 2014

File updated again to fix some graphics bugs.

Bart Lemming · Dec 3, 2014

Wow. You really are working at it now!

Thanks again.

Dwedit : Can Goomba Color manage 128 kilobytes SRAM too, or max 64 kilobytes?

Dwedit · Dec 15, 2014

Released a new build, go to the usual site. Hopefully fixes all the crashes and SRAM save craziness.

reprep: nope, it's limited to 64 KB. If you need more space, make more goomba compilations for now.
