Application:Gnuboy

Setup:

1. Setup Debian.

2. Setup DirectFB.

Some program specific notes about the directfbrc config file:

mode=320x480
primary-layer=00
pixelformat=RGB16  #This needs to be changed from ARGB to RGB16 for accurate gameboy color emulation.
no-vt
no-cursor
bg-color=00000000
hardware

3. Run, outside the chroot:

<source lang="text">/sbin/initctl stop LunaSysMgr #NOTE: THIS WILL KILL THE GUI</source> 4. Run, inside the debian chroot: <source lang="text"> apt-get install -y gnuboy-sdl </source>

Run:

Get into the Debian chroot: <source lang="text"> export SDL_VIDEODRIVER="directfb" export SDL_NOMOUSE=1 sdlgnuboy --scale=2 --density=2 --bind q quit --bind u +up --bind h +left --bind k +right --bind j +down YOURROMFILE.GB </source>

Notes

• You will have to unzip your gameboy rom in order to work with gnuboy
• Mappings for the gameboy start and select buttons are not specified in the program launch parameters, but the defaults are enter for start and space for select.
• If sound is not working for you, try installing the package 'libsdl1.2debian-all' in your debian chroot. To disable sound in the emu, add --sound=0 as a launch parameter.
• Playability in this emulator is excellent. Gameboy and Gameboy Color games run at full speed.
