DSBoy First Release

DSBoy First Release










Mateom199 has released his first version of DSBoy, a Gameboy Mono emulator for DS.

Hoping to stir up some interest in this NDS GB/GB emulator, I added libfat support to it, with a pretty rudimentary file explorer (thanks to PicoDriveDS) and adjusted a few lines of code so it will compile with DKP r20.



It seems that theres a bug somewhere in the code causing slightly corrupt graphics, I wasn't able to track it down but I haven't been looking for very long.



Unfortunately, I know little asm and even less about the Gameboy's Z80 processor, so I don't imagine I would be much help in coding speed optimizations and the such. Hopefully someone with more knowledge on the the subject can help improve this emulator.



attached is both the modified source and a binary (.nds and nds.gba).



KNOWN ISSUES:

Graphics slightly corrupt

Many ROMs will crash it - tested with Mega Man 1, works fine (slow though)

ROM's must end in ".gb", spaces in filenames not tested.

This could be really sweet once it's "perfect".

Can anyone say 1000s of GB Games on demand?

 

[jeklnoo]

what terrible reporting. this is NOT a first release AT ALL.

someone simply took ethos' old gbc emulator (yes, I said gbc, it does more than just gb mono), and added libfat support. This is very old, like over a year, so I guess I can excuse you young noobs from not remembering it.

has anyone got it working on m3simply or r4? it dose not read my roms.

 

[mcbey]

On R4 it needs to be patched with Dldi and the roms need to end with .gbc , even if the are Gb mono

PS does work with gbc games

GBC Games work too?

 

[chalupa]

thanks its working..... as well as i think its supposed to. how long should it take for sound to come in?

 

[Blueberryboi]

i Think it's bad that you cant see the text in a game like Pokemon Red.
The image is bad. Or did i do something wrong?

Could this finally be the start of a GBC emu for the DS!? Here's hoping it gets some momentum going. *crosses fingers*

EDIT: I noticed GPF has been posting, the guy behind Neopop and FrodoDS(Oh, and Duke Nukem 3D!). You never know what might happen...*crosses more fingers*
