This is a rewritten front end for Purple Monchichis RISC OS Gameboy emulator, which runs in a window under the desktop. Other useful additions include the ability to cheat using Game Genie codes, much enhanced saving and loading facilities, and an easy way to reconfigure the keys and colours. Ive tested it on a StrongARM RISC PC and an old ARM3 A3000. The RISC PC copes fine with scaling up to 300 you have to press escape at this magnification to regain control of the machine though, whereas the A3000 struggles somewhat at any size. In theory it could run at a similar speed to the old nonmultitasking version due to more efficient key handling code, but Ive not been able to test it on any inbetween machines. GFBoyEm v0.06 Version history The documentation is terrible, for which I apologise, but briefly: Gameboy games can be run by doubleclicking on them or dragging them to the GBoyEm icon make sure theyre set to filetype &0d7. Pressing menu in the display window gives you various options including a sound toggle and a reset option. If you save a position with the include game option, then running that position file filetype &0d8 afterwards will automatically load the game with it. Otherwise, if the correct game is not loaded at the time you will get a message telling you what game the position is for. The cheat codes window lets you enter Game Genie codes for the game, which can be saved out with a position file if desired. A list of Gameboy codes can be found on one of the sites mentioned below. The save and load keys in the config window are used to quickly save and load position files without needing to use a menu or the filer. They use the filename in the save window, so once youve saved or loaded a position normally you can use these keys to speed things up.
