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.
