Emulation Still working on Goomba Color

[Dwedit]

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]

Awesome! Can't wait to test it out!

 

[Sakitoshi]

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.

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.

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

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]

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

 

[Dwedit]

File updated again to fix some graphics bugs.

 

[Bart Lemming]

Wow. You really are working at it now!

Thanks again.

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

 

[Dwedit]

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.
