 * A quick hack to fix the yellow half screen on the bottom is to set the terminal colors to a red background with white text in preferences, and scroll down at initial game startup.  Another hack is to try adding " 2>debug" to the last line of the launcher script, and to refrain from doing anything to prompt a Luna redraw, such as touching the screen, receiving notifications/calls etc. In the second case, putting the phone in airplane mode can be helpful.

 The emulator can be launched from the Mojo Webos [[Application:Terminal|Terminal]] app, which can be downloaded from [[Preware|Preware]].  The emulator even works with Luna on, meaning you can launch it from the Webos Terminal, and receive calls even when playing a game.  To exit games when playing like this, press the orange button or the Gnuboy quit button to return to normal Webos function.
-However, with Luna on, the Webos GUI functions will turn off the screen and go into sleep mode after a period of time, which causes the emulator to crash.  This period of time is defined in the Webos 'Screen & Lock' application under 'Turn Off After'.  A workaround is to either tap the screen periodically before the screen turns off, use the "disable screen timer" functionality in the Webos app "Mytether", or use the "More Standby Times" patch that can also be applied using [[Preware|Preware]] (original patch notes [[Patch_webOS_Changing_the_"Turn_off_after_X"_time| available here]].
