@FManga I just had the chance to try the Pokitto-Zboy tool you have made.

How can you do stuff like that in such a short time?

Your skillz are something beyond elite.

Just amazing. I am now playing Motocross Maniacs on Pokitto.

I need to pinch myself.

EDIT: I am sending you a hardware debugger as a little thank you for this.

And I think the Pokitto community agrees. This is just freaking me out. Now playing Castlevania.

The emulator at its current speed is actually perfect for beating Tetris on Level 9 / High 5 (B-Type) to get to the end screen! :smile:

(still no easy task though! :sweat_smile:)

Would be cool to add in the Super GameBoy borders! And shouldnā€™t hurt performance if you just draw them once and then donā€™t update that part of the screen?

Amazing stuff like this gets me excited to work on new projects again. I tried out a few games like Tetris last night and the conversion process was foolproof. Awesome work again!

I think it can be done completely separate from the emulation also. If I remember correctly, the borders are actually SNES code (donā€™t quote me on that) and therefore really have nothing to do with the gameboy game at all.

I just made an update:

  • Now you no longer need to unzip your roms. Just drop the zip in.
  • Palette customization

Itā€™s probably good to clear the browser cache.
Anybody care to make some preset palettes?

33

I havenā€™t looked at the relevant code yet, but I think GB carts can detect a super gameboy and send it specific commands (like loading/changing the border).
There isnā€™t enough space for the full border on the Pokitto, but maybe itā€™ll look good cropped. Iā€™ll give it a try later. Also, Iā€™m not sure if thereā€™s enough space in flash, itā€™s almost breaking the loader already.

Maybe part of the conversion process could be to seperate the border from the gameboy rom and save it as a raw bitmap to be loaded from the sd card?
