About
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gambatte is an accuracy-focused, open-source, cross-platform
Game Boy Color emulator written in C++. It is based on hundreds of
corner case hardware tests, as well as previous documentation and reverse
engineering efforts.
The core emulation code is contained in a separate library back-end
(libgambatte) written in platform-independent C++. There is currently a GUI
front-end (gambatte_qt) using Trolltech's Qt4 toolkit, and a simple command-line
SDL front-end (gambatte_sdl).
The GUI front-end contains platform-specific extensions for video, sound and
timers. It should work on MS Windows, Linux/BSD/UNIX-like OSes, and Mac OS X.
The SDL front-end should be usable on all platforms with a working SDL port. It
should also be quite trivial to create new (simple) front-ends (note that the
library API should in no way be considered stable).
Usage
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will have to supply Gambatte with a ROM image file of the GB/GBC
program/game you'd like to run/play, either as a command-line argument to
gambatte_sdl, or through the File->Open... menu in gambatte_qt.
gambatte_sdl keyboard commands:
TAB - fast-forward
Ctrl-f - toggle full screen
Ctrl-r - reset
F5 - save state
F6 - previous state slot
F7 - next state slot
F8 - load state
0 to 9 - select state slot 0 to 9
Default key mapping:
Up: Up
Down: Down
Left: Left
Right: Right
A: D
B: C
Start: Return
Select: Shift
Compiling
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Building Gambatte from source code can be done by executing the
build_<qt/sdl>.sh scripts for the qt/sdl front-ends respectively, or by issueing
the correct build command (either 'scons' or 'qmake && make') in the top-level
subdirectories (libgambatte will have to be built first). The clean.sh script
can be executed to remove all generated files after a compile (including
binaries).
Requirements for building libgambatte:
- A decent C++ compiler (like g++ in the GNU Compiler Collection).
- SCons.
- optionally zlib
Requirements for building gambatte_sdl:
- A decent C++ compiler (like g++ in the GNU Compiler Collection).
- SDL headers and library.
- SCons.
(- libgambatte.)
Requirements for building gambatte_qt:
- A decent C++ compiler (like g++ in the GNU Compiler Collection).
- Qt4 (Core, GUI, OpenGL) headers and library.
- Qmake and make (GNU Make should work).
- Platform-specific requirements:
* MS Windows:
- Win32 API headers and libraries.
- DirectSound and DirectDraw7 headers and libraries.
- Direct3D9 headers
* Linux/BSD/UNIX-like OSes:
- POSIX/UNIX headers (unistd.h, fcntl.h, sys/ioctl.h, sys/time.h, sys/shm.h).
- Open Sound System header (sys/soundcard.h).
- X11 Xlib, XVideo, XRandR and XShm headers and libraries.
- Alsa headers and library (Linux only).
* Max OS X:
- Recent Mac OS X SDK (Panther Xcode/SDK should work)
(- libgambatte.)
Installing after a compile simply amounts to copying the generated binary
(either gambatte_qt/bin/gambatte_qt<.exe> or gambatte_sdl/gambatte_sdl<.exe>)
to wherever you'd like to keep it.
