@bgK: From a first glance, it looks like this patch might kill support for GB mono BIOSes.

 

Anyway, nice work from Costis. I am far away from his level of l33tness [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink.png[/img]/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I can't wait to see the other undumped BIOSes finally dumped.

spacy: The patch's not perfect, but at least GB bios still works.

If im speaking to someone and they say gameboy color, im gonna say "here is a fun fact: did you know that gameboy color BIOS was dumped because of my all inspiring words."

I think we should wait for a proper fully tested patch or do a proper implementation including proper MFC bios selection screens and the like.... rather then just applying a messy patch like this..

Well, go ahead. Memory management is such a mess in the GB core that you won't be able to add proper support for the GBC bootrom without much more work. Anyway, being able to play games without the bootrom is a hack by itself.

BTW, I added support for the GBC bios following exactly the same path as for the DMG bios, It's not dirtier.

thats why its not worth applying the patch. The goal is to remove as many of the hacks and get accurate emulation (no mudlord, i dont' care about cycle accurate lol, just function)

 

btw, the implementation wouldn't be any harder then what was done for DMG.

As it stands, while the emulator is set to Auto type, it defaults to CGB and AGB emulation (only switching to SGB if borders are autodetected for DMG games)

Well then we'd better ditch the GB core (tell people to use Gambatte), and focus on cleaning up GBA.

thats not really possible. the DMG and CGB share alot of the same functions, removing DMG would kill CGB.

 

its a GBA emulator, meaning it runs DMG and CGB games too.

Indeed.

I don't agree. The GB and GBA share almost nothing. The GBA micro doesn't allow playing GB games. Anyway, I don't care. I'm just here to make sure the Linux ports work well.

And how many gba micro's sold?

 

i can count the sales on my hand i bet.
