Goomba Color DS

[FAST6191]

In a bit of a rush/not sure if this needs to be on the portal so full post later.
Dwedit has released a version of goomba color for the DS (goomba color is a GBC emu for the GBA and nearest rival to the DS code Lameboy), it is still very early on but an interesting development.

This version says "1-16-08" on it, that's about when I took a break from working on it.

Sound is garbled, and you must reset the game before any sound appears
I couldn't get Libfat working without reading lots of corrupt data, so this only has "Drymouth" embedded inside the emulator.
I haven't integrated the changes made to the newest builds of Goomba color.

How is it compatibility wise compared to lameboy?

EDIT: Never mind. It only plays one game.

I was bored so broke out the hex editor to try it out with other roms... seems to working nicely for a first release. Not quite Lameboy replacement... yet

http://tinyurl.com/3ad562 - parts1 and 2 and a batch file to make your own versions... open a cmd prompt; go.bat gameboycolorgame.gbc should produce a goomba_DS_test.nds

I don't see much point to frontpaging it now, as its not really in a "release" state for general use.

Dude, Super Gameboy support is still in! Even though this is a very early release, it still shows promise.

Thanks ratx for the builder tool. I've taken the liberty of modifying it slightly to let you double-click it to process all *.gb or *.gbc files in the directory:

for %%F in (*.gb) do copy /B part1 + "%%F" + part2 "%%~nF.nds"
for %%F in (*.gbc) do copy /B part1 + "%%F" + part2 "%%~nF.nds"

Sweetness, I caught this emu the other day, great to see a way to insert your own game. Even if it is an early release, it still rocks.

Am I to gather this makeshift builder does not support games which require a save? 'cuz I've tried MegaMan Xtreme, Xtreme2, and Zelda DX, and they all freeze up at some point before the title screen (M3 Simply w/ phat DS).

 

[DanTheManMS]

I dunno. I got Pokemon Red working with moderate sound glitches, as well as Pokemon Pinball which works very well. All my other games crash either at a title screen or simply don't load at all.

I'm really glad he has started working on this again. I used to love goomba for the GBA.
