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

    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.

    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 :P
    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 :)

    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. :)

    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.
