SwanGBA

[FluBBa]

So I made an official release of SwanGBA for the first time, there is a version of the old hacked builder included for Windows.
Compatibility should be more or less the same as the DS version (NitroSwan) but a lot of usability stuff is missing, like saving of anything.

Thanks!
Couldn't immediately get the builder running in Wine, so I followed the Formats.txt to manually build a .gba with GunPey EX. Either I'm misreading something, or the format info for the ROM header is missing 4 bytes. I had to move the ROM title up by 4 bytes so it was at 32 bytes into the header. After that it worked and I was able to play GunPey EX, seems to run great

Additional thought: maybe you could add a control option for vertical games, to use Select & Start as the action buttons. I know their placement varies between GBA models but it would be very handy on the OG.

For anyone else manually building a .gba, I see Flubba has updated the Formats.txt on github with the 4 reserved bytes that were missing, between rom flags and bios flag - ty

I was able to build the latest 0.6.7-WSwan along with the latest dependencies for the SCFW pre-release kernel. I can confirm that the audio now works!

Great job, FluBBa.
