I Love Gameboy

[Technicolour]

This is a gameboy emulator I put together in Love, I did intend on adding sound but I never got around to it and have moved onto different projects. If there's any interest, I might add sound. It started as a gameboy emulator I wrote for gmod and then ported to love, the love version has considerably advanced and should play most commercial and game demos without any issues (other than lack of sound). Speed is decent (and often too fast) although there can be slow-downs if there's too much going on on screen (Drawing pixels every frame is rather slow with love, so I only draw changed pixels).

It requires LoveJIT.

Usage: Change line 124 in gameboy.lua to point to the rom, eg: local ROMstring = love.filesystem.read( "roms/oh.gb" )

If you have any questions or are curious about emulation or would like to learn about emulation please ask away, it's an interesting subject!

Incase you have any trouble, here's the love version I use. I run it via dragging-and-dropping as running the .love can cause issues with a rom file in the .love file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31490251/LoveJIT.rar

For those who want an idea of what it looks like, I uploaded a quick video to show:

*edit*

Personally I think this is awesome, you should continue with it. That way we could package single roms with the emulator and you could distribute them.

Do you know, whether it runs with the love-webplayer?

Oh man that would be awesome

It seems that the "bit" library is only included in LuaJit and not the official Love2D 0.8.0 build !? Best would be to include a lua implementation of these functions.

It would be cool to play emulated games online through love. I'm impressed with this emulator with what it can do.

It only runs in my osx with slime's JIT version. Since "Oh isn't there need a replacement. What kind of rom I need? It can emulate a "commercial" cartridge or do I need to use a homebrew demo?
EDITED: By other words just need to know some compatibility list.

EDITED2: It's this Oh? http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=54175

EDITED3: It should be! dont' even have to rename rom!
WORKS GREAT! CONGRATZ! First Love real emulator?

Ok, don't work so great. A lot of "trail" gfx problems but it+s a start!
